Teenage surfer dies after shark attack off southern Australia

A teenage surfer has died in the third fatal shark attack to take place in waters off South Australia state in recent months.

A 15-year-old surfer has died in the third fatal shark attack to take place in waters off South Australia state in recent months.

Khai Cowley was attacked by a suspected great white shark on Thursday while surfing with his father off the remote Ethel Beach on the Yorke Peninsula west of his hometown of Adelaide, authorities said.

The boy was brought to shore, but emergency services were unable to revive him.

Surfers also died in shark attacks in remote parts of South Australia in May and October. Their bodies were never recovered.

South Australia premier Peter Malinauskas said there have been 11 fatal shark attacks in the state’s waters since 2000.
