Sad news has broken of a young surfer who sadly died as the result of a shark attack in Australia
Zac Young aged nineteen was surfing off the coast of New South Wales at Campbell’s Beach, with friend when he was a shark bit of both legs.
His friends helped him to fight the shark and he eventually broke free. The
friends dragged him to shore and tried to resuscitate him but were unable to
save him.
“His mates struggled with the shark for a short time,” said a police
inspector, Joanna Reid. “Then the shark has let go and friends then
courageously managed to get him to shore It has taken a bit of time to get
him to shore and he lost a fair amount of blood on the way. It’s just a
tragic, tragic incident.”
The attack occurred while Mr Young and his friends were surfing on Saturday
afternoon at Campbell's Beach near Coffs Harbour, about 280 miles north of
Sydney. Medics said he died of a traumatic cardiac arrest.
Surf Life Saving NSW closed all patrolled beaches in the area for 24 hours. This is the second attack in the space of two days.
