A diver dies after a shark attack off the coast of Western Australia, police say. Reports describe the incident as occurring near Michaelmas Island, where the diver was in the water. Police say the victim was attacked by a suspected shark, with one outlet citing an estimated size of about 4.5 meters. The death marks another fatal shark incident in Australia in recent weeks. One report says it is the third fatal shark attack in Australia in three weeks, while other coverage places it as Australia’s fourth fatal shark attack this year. No details beyond the attack and location are provided in the excerpts about the circumstances of the fishing or diving activity, or about any suspect identification by species. The reporting is consistent on the core facts: a diver or fisherman is killed by a suspected shark near Western Australia, the attack prompts police confirmation, and the incident is counted among a string of fatal shark attacks reported nationally in the same time frame.
