'We don't hold any ongoing hope unfortunately for Mr. Sharpe's survival,' said WA Police Senior Sergeant Justin Tarasinski in the wake of a shark attack on Friday.
Australian police are searching for the remains of a 52-year-old man who was bitten by a shark while surfing in Australia on Friday.
Officials say they have lost hope for his safe return after two pieces of a wetsuit were found in the waters close to where he had been surfing. The incident took place at Kelp Beds in Wylie Bay near Esperance, a town on the coast of Western Australia. "One of the surfers tried to get from the water but was unable to do so," state premier Mark McGowan told reporters yesterday, saying the coastline was a breeding ground for great white sharks and home to seal colonies,Yesterday, a surfboard was also recovered from the ocean with"obvious signs of shark attack," WA Police Senior Sergeant Justin Tarasinski said in a media briefing. Experts are examining the board to try and determine the species of shark involved.
The search and recovery mission was ultimately suspended today due to poor weather conditions and will start again tomorrow 7:00 a.m. local time.
