A teenage surfer tragically died on Thursday after he was mauled by a shark in South Australia … and a witness says the horrifying incident all went down proper in entrance of the boy’s father.
South Australia Police stated in a press release they obtained studies of the assault at round 1:30 PM at Ethel Seaside within the Innes Nationwide Park … however, sadly, when medics arrived on the scene, they stated the boy had handed.
A bystander on the seaside advised the Adelaide Advertiser … the teenager had been out within the water along with his father catching waves — when a shark instantly took his leg.

“Another local guy ran out, jumped on his board, and paddled out to help him,” the witness advised the outlet.
“The shark was circling them as the guy pulled the boy out of the water. There was a lot of blood. He brought him to shore but I think it was too late by then.”
Tragically, that is the fifth reported shark assault this 12 months in South Australia … and sightings of the ocean creatures have been widespread within the space not too long ago.
In reality, a trainer was simply killed by a shark at Walkers Rock in Might — which is simply west of the place the teenager died Thursday.
