Teenage boy killed in Yorke Peninsula shark attack
UPDATE: A teenage boy has died after being bitten by a shark at a remote beach on South Australia’s Yorke Peninsula.
Emergency services were called to Ethel Beach in Innes National Park with reports of a shark attack at 1.30pm on Thursday.
There, at the popular surf beach hemmed in by towering cliffs, they recovered the teenager’s body.
Police are preparing a report for the coroner.
The attack comes after a spate of serious shark bites in recent months, including the fatal attack of 55-year-old Tod Gendle at Granites Beach on the state’s West Coast in October.
