A 39-year-old man has died after being attacked by a shark at the Great Barrier Reef on Sunday, police said, the second fatal shark attack in Australia this month.
The man was rushed to shore after being bitten near Kennedy Shoal, a shallow reef around 28 miles off the coast of the state of Queensland in northeast Australia, a Queensland Police Service spokesperson said.
The man was met by an ambulance but died shortly afterwards, the spokesperson said, without identifying him.
