The man was rescued by two people on a jet ski who were nearby as other terrified swimmers in the water rushed to get out.
A 59-year-old Australian tourist is the latest shark attack victim on the beaches of Nouméa, the capital of the South Pacific archipelago of French-controlled New Caledonia.
footage of the incident confirms initial reports that the man was swimming close to a pontoon at the popular Chateau Royal beach at around 4:00 p.m. when he was bitten “several times.” Local reports indicate lifeguards could hear cries coming from the water, causing them to act and evacuate the beach. Witnesses attempted to help keep the man alive on the beach but he succumbed to his injuries.
