Shark scavenged body found washed up on beach

KwaZulu-Natal: At 16:36 Friday afternoon, Netcare 911 received a call for a drowning off Lady Ellen Crescent in La Lucia, Durban.

Reports indicate that a while walking on the beach, a man came across the decomposing body of an adult male face down between washed-up flotsam.

A second body was also found in the shore break, but had washed back out to sea by the strong surf before Lifeguards arrived on the scene.

On scene with Netcare 911 was the Durban Metro Search and Rescue, Ethekwini Lifeguards, Marshall Security, SAPS Search and Rescue Unit, and S.T.A.R.T.

When medics turned the body over for assessment, it was found that a portion of the right upper arm and right chest area were missing, with multiple shark bite marks clearly visible.

Although authorities will determine the exact cause of death, it is believed the deceased had been predated on following the drowning.

The body was handed over to the Durban North SAPS for further investigation.
