Lifeguard killed in shark attack

DEFINITELY NOT FOR SENSITIVE VIEWERS
PLEASE DON’T READ ANY FURTHER – IT’S HORRIFIC PHOTO’S

My daughter Ziska and her boyfriend were holidaying in Port St Johns in January when this horrific shark attack took place.

A 27-year-old lifeguard died after he was attacked by a tiger shark at Second Beach in Port St Johns where they went snorkeling everyday.

He was attacked around 14:00 after he and a friend went for a swim. A fellow lifeguard witnessed the attack. He tried to reach him with a rubber duck, but he was too late.
The noise of the rubber duck scared off the shark but by that time his friend had already died; the shark attack was too vicious on his friend.

Ziska was a real ‘old nag’ and didn’t want to swim at Second Beach – she just didn’t feel comfortable in the water...

She had reason not to feel safe...
