Man dies after shark yanked off his penis while swimming




  • An extremely graphic clip, filmed by a beach-goer, features the horrifying aftermath of a tiger shark attack on a teenager bathing, yesterday afternoon, in waters off the Piedade beach near Recife, on Brazil's north-east coast

    The shocking video shows the moment when people pull 18-year-old Jose Ernestor da Silva out from the water and desperately try to help him before emergency services arrive, as the teen had his penis and femur “amputated” by a severe bite from what is believed to be a tiger shark.

    According to an ambulance medic, Jose died at the Restauracao Hospital, having suffered two heart attacks on the way.
    He had been ordered by his mother not to go to the beach following a horrendous shark attack in April in which a 34-year-old tourist lost an arm and a leg.
