A spearfisher has been mauled on the Great Barrier Reef in Australia’s second fatal shark attack in just over a week.
Police say the 39-year-old man was with three friends diving from a boat on Sunday at Kennedy Shoal off the Queensland state coast south of Cairns when he was attacked.
The Cairns resident was brought by boat around noon to the tourist town of Hull Heads where paramedics could not resuscitate him.
A shark fatally mauled a 38-year-old spearfisher on May 16 off Rottnest Island near the southwest coast of Western Australia state.
