A 35-year-old spearfisher tragically lost his life in Western Australia on Saturday, marking the third fatal shark attack in the country over a span of four weeks. The incident took place near Michaelmas Island, where the man was spearfishing with family before the attack occurred shortly before noon. Despite efforts to revive him after he was brought to Albany by boat, he could not be saved. Authorities believe a 4.5-meter (15-foot) white shark was responsible for the attack. This recent spate of fatalities is unusual for Australia, which typically sees an average of three shark-related deaths annually. The last fatality prior to this incident occurred on May 24, when 39-year-old Michael Jensz was attacked on the Great Barrier Reef, suffering fatal head injuries. Just a week before that, another spearfisher, 38-year-old Steve Mattabonni, was killed by a four-meter (13-foot) white shark near Rottnest Island. Earlier in the year, a 12-year-old boy also died after being mauled by a bull shark in Sydney Harbor. These incidents highlight the growing concerns regarding shark attacks in Australian waters.
