Australia: Man dies after shark attack off holiday island
A 38-year-old man died after a shark attack at Horseshoe Reef near Rottnest Island, a popular holiday destination off Perth, Western Australia, on Saturday morning; paramedics from St John Ambulance Service were unable to revive him after he was brought to shore. This marks the second fatal shark attack in Australia in 2026, amid a recent rise in incidents that scientists link to changing shark migratory patterns, crowded waters, and warming oceans.
