Australia authorities say a 60-year-old surfer has been attacked and killed by a 10-foot great white shark off the coast of northern New South Wales state.

In this image made from aerial video, a jet ski passes over a shark swimming along the coast of Kingscliff, New South Whales, Australia, Sunday, June 7, 2020. A 60-year-old surfer was attacked and killed by a 3-meter shark off the coast of northern New South Wales state on Sunday, Australian police said.

The man received a bite to the back of his thigh and was brought to the shore by other surfers who had fought off the shark, a surf rescue group, Surf Life Saving NSW, said in a statement. The victim, from Tugun just over the state border in Queensland, received first aid on the shore but died on the beach.

Unfortunate but it happens in the sea all the time. Just ask any seal!!

The ethnicity of the victims should be printed too so we know whether more Blacks than Whites are being targeted by the sharks.

Or did he die while in the sharks custody? 🤔

What a way to go as a 60 year old surfer.

Off the coast of Kingscliff according to the ABC radio news on O/N's.

“In the middle of the ocean’s spray, I saw a surfer’s biggest fear—the dorsal fin of a shark.” Read more at

Don't surf. You are the sharks lunch. You go into his territory. When surfer gets bitten then the nut jobs go to kill the shark. That's what sharks do. That's disgraceful. Don't go where the tigers live. It's their home not yours!

Another COVID19 death, I guess.

Was it a great white shark or a great black shark? Did use even ask him how he identifys?

Isn’t this the best way to go?

Shocking. Let’s start a Human Lives Matter protest at the sheer brutality of the shark and campaign for things to change.

Every news report of shark attacks should also list how many sharks are killed by humans. It's not responsible or objective to do otherwise. You say this is the third fatal attack in Australia this year? So, how many sharks have been killed during this same period so far?

People kill 100 million sharks per year.

Will this be listed as another COVID19 death?

Damn, what a terrifying way to go. 😰

Shark party

His death was recorded as being due to Covid 19

Sharks gonna shark.

I'm buying Trump a surfboard for his birthday.

Ya know if you go surfing on a sharks dinner plate you get eaten .......

That's a good way to go. I hope I am one day lucky enough to be killed and eaten by a wild animal.

News cycle

Circle of life

sharks should be eliminated so we can surf in peace. humans are top of the food chain.

Sorry he died, but the sea belongs to these creatures.. Tis their territory..

Leave the shark alone. It is in its habitat.

I think we should boycott all raciest sharks from now on!!!

First rule of “journalism” = write and speak correctly

EbanieBridges hope you don’t like surfing 😳😳

anthonyjeselnik

The sea is the sharks home, sorry to hear of loss of life but we should not hunt and kill the shark ...

I love the comments; everyone is being so sarcastic & making fun of the news with their comments 😆

The sea is the sharks domain, we enter it knowing the risks, please do not demonise these magnificent beings

The surfer fell off the board and attacked the shark I think. Who allows a shark to attend a surf day. Shocking.

SharkLivesMatter 🙄

Now someone post a video of us harvesting shark fins for soup to remind everyone that humans are much more of a monster.

Better call the orcas

Upon interrogation, the shark claims the guy simply tripped and fell.

AllLivesMatter even animals. I'm for the shark.

Authorities say it’s the worst case of corona virus they’ve ever seen....

who else but...

Maybe we should protest in sea to the sharks HUMAN LIVES MATTER

We MUST seizepower from this fucking white sharks!! 👊

'Y'all know how I make a living. I'll catch this bird for you but it ain't gonna be easy. Bad fish....swallow you whole.'

New South 'Whales'?

joerogan

Don't start nothing, won't be nothing.

Crikey!

sharkslivesmatter

Defund surfing!!!

All the shark wanted to do was, take a knee.

Killing sharks is wrong.

Even the sharks are racist!!!!!

It’s the sea. Sharks live in the sea. 🤷🏽‍♀️

Yeah and............

White issue again. Whatever happened to the poor black sharks?

Is a risk you happy take. Dont dusturb the marine life, i say

Better kill it so it learns its lesson of not following its 100 million year programming of eating things in the water to survive. Idiot shark

I feel for the man who has lost his life and for his family. Surfers know the risks involved, just a shark being a shark 🦈

I find it interesting that you only say the age of the man and the size of the shark. But what size was the man, and how old is the shark? You won't say because it doesn't support your narrative. Fake news.

I’m not sure why we needed to know he was 60 ? But, big shark 🦈 😳 Awful:(

I hope they don't kill the shark. Or lots of other different ones.

Surfing is like running through a 🦁 enclosure dressed as a wildebeest. Sharks do what sharks do. If it had eaten him in tesco, then it's the sharks fault. Shame and horrible way to go though.

The shark was defending its home.

One for anthonyjeselnik

He proly save from covid 19 but fail to escape from shark

Blame the police for it

Why didn't he just punch it in the nose like I've been told for years to do? Sheesh... didn't this guy watch Animal Planet?

Never annoy a Shark on Sunday?

The sea is the sharks domain and man is just an interloper

I blame the tory government 😁

Cause of death: Coronavirus

Please don't say it's a black surfer

You're more likely to be killed by a falling coconut... Sharks aren't the vicious creatures the media and entertainment always make them out to be... Most of the time they'll just nibble you if anything then swims away as long as you don't attack

Please remind me how many sharks that humans killed today ?

Is that racist?

Yikes

Quick, blame the shark
