A man died in Hawaii after being attacked by a shark, local officials said, the first of these fatalities in the state for four years.
The victim, a 65-year-old native of California, reportedly swam in clear, flat conditions about 60 meters from the shore on the west coast of Maui Saturday morning at the time of the attack.
The Fire and Public Security Department of Maui County sent a helicopter and a jetski to locate the man and bring him to shore, where officers carried out the CPR.
The man, whose name was not disclosed, died on the spot.
Shark warning signs have been placed in the area of Ka'anapali Beach Park where the attack took place and will remain in place until at least Sunday noon.
In 2015, diver Margaret Cruse was killed by a shark off Maui after being separated from her friends. It was the third deadly shark attack in Maui waters since 2013.
