Haian attack in Australia: Man dies while fishing in front of Humpy Island!

A tragic incident occurred in front of the northeast coast of Australia when a man was attacked by a shark while fishing with his family. The attack took place on Saturday evening (local time) in front of Humpy Island in the Keppel Bay Islands National Park, about 18 kilometers off the coast of Queensland.
