A surfer missing in South Australia was likely mauled to death by a shark, police said today as they combed the coast for his body.
Witnesses saw a shark attack the man while he was catching waves Thursday night at a trendy surf spot known as “Granites” in the state of South Australia, police said.
Police Constable Rebecca Stokes said the 28-year-old man’s surfboard had been recovered.
“But there was just no sign of this young man, there was just no sign of him,” he told national broadcaster ABC.
South Australian police said in a separate statement on Friday that they believed he was “the victim of a deadly shark attack.”
