A TEEN has been mauled to death by a shark while swimming off a tourist hotspot beach in Australia.
The 17-year-old girl was in Bribie Island, north of Brisbane, when tragedy unfolded on Monday.
Emergency services rushed to Woorim Beach around 4.45pm local time after reports of the attack.
Queensland Ambulance confirmed they were responding to a “serious shark bite incident” and treated the girl for life-threatening upper body injuries.
“The female sustained life-threatening injuries and succumbed to those injuries just after 5pm,” police said.
A report will be prepared for the Coroner.
Woorim Ocean Beach, a popular surf spot, is the closest surf beach north of Brisbane.
The fatal attack follows the death of 28-year-old surfer Lance Appleby, who was killed by a shark off South Australia’s coast in January.
