Man Dies in Australia's Second Fatal Shark Attack of 2026 — 13-Foot Shark Near Rottnest Island

A man went spearfishing near a popular Australian tourist spot. He never came back.
A 38-year-old was attacked by a shark at Horseshoe Reef near Rottnest Island, about 19 miles west of Perth. He was rushed to shore — but couldn't be saved.
A 13-foot shark had been spotted nearby just before the attack.
This is Australia's second fatal shark attack this year. In January, a 12-year-old boy d!3d after being bitten in Sydney Harbour.
Australia averages about 20 shark attacks a year. Most aren't fatal. But two in five months? That's rare. And tragic. 🦈🇦🇺
