A 65-year-old man swimming off the coast of Maui on Saturday morning is now dead after an encounter with a shark. Thomas Smiley, who CNN reports was from California, was approximately 60 yards from Kaanapali Beach at the time. He was brought back ashore and CPR was performed but the man ultimately died of his injuries.
It’s the first shark attack off of the Maui coast this year and an incredibly rare example of a fatal shark attack in the waters around the Hawaiian islands. It’s just the second fatal shark attack in U.S. waters in the past four years.
