A man has died after being mauled by a shark while swimming at a popular beach in Western Australia. According to Sky News World, this marks the fifth fatal shark attack in the country this year. The BBC World report identifies the victim as Greg O'Neill, who 'loved the ocean,' according to his family. Following the attack, police boats and helicopters are patrolling Perth's beaches in search of his body and the shark responsible. The incident has prompted rare measures, including a kill order for the shark involved. The details surrounding the attack and the subsequent search efforts are currently under investigation.
