Police in Western Australia say a man dies after a shark attack off the state’s southwestern coast. Reports from multiple outlets say the incident happens while the man is fishing, with one account specifying he is spearfishing. BBC reports the man is spearfishing off Michaelmas Island with family members present, while other coverage describes the man as fishing at the time of the bite without detailing the location. In all accounts, police confirm the man is bitten by a shark and later dies. The reports agree that the attack occurs offshore, and that authorities are investigating the circumstances. None of the sources provide additional information about the shark species, the exact time of the attack, or the location beyond the Michaelmas Island detail cited by BBC.
