A shark attacked and killed a 16-year-old Jamaican high school student whose body was found in waters just north of the island, authorities said. Police identified the victim as Jahmari Reid from the northern parish of Trelawny, located just east of the popular tourist town of Montego Bay. The Jamaica Observer reported his left arm was also severed.
The teen reportedly went spearfishing alone early Monday, with fishermen finding his “headless” body the following day with injuries consistent with a shark attack, police said in a report late Tuesday. Local fishermen reported a tiger shark was spotted in waters nearby. Shark attacks are rare, with a total of 69 confirmed unprovoked attacks worldwide and 14 fatalities reported last year, according to the Florida-based International Shark Attack File.
