That's always a sad situation for everyone.
As a sidenote: At least now they have updated the story enough to give a few more details. Earlier this morning, they would not release any possibilities of what kind of shark or any of the circumstances involved.

Funny stat I saw the other day that you never hear about. More people get killed a year from coconuts falling on there heads than from sharks. Makes you wonder about media fear mongering doesn't it.

Thought I'd share that cause I found it interesting.

It's all good, I needed a laugh as well with sh*tty week I've been having. Hope my coconuts helped in some way.

Hope things turn around for the better for you.

Poor guy. I would crap myself as well. I had my own little run in with a shark while I was snorkaling (sp) in the Azcores. All I heard was my sister yelling so I thought she was trying to warn me about a large wave so I thought to myself that I would just float above the wave but when she didnt stop yelling, I stood up and looked on shore and saw ALL the locals standing and watching the water. She yelled Shark and I looked back and saw a fin, needless to say that I got out of the water quickly. However my brother in law was further out then I was so when he finally heard us the shark wasnt to far away from him, he swam back to shore and lost a flipper in the process. The shark left after a while, we never knew if it was harmless or not but whenever the locals are on the beach, Im going to follow their lead.
