“Gun Death” Shark Attack

They are rare, but often deadly when it comes to Great Whites:

A Briton who was killed by a great white shark yesterday had joked about the danger just 24 hours earlier, his family said last night.

…A holidaymaker who spotted him in distress paddled frantically to his aid but Mr Wilcox bled to death in the water.

Super brave for the guy who brought him to shore. Still the trauma caused by even an exploratory bite (unfortunately the mouth of a shark is not only their biggest weapon, but their best sensory organ when encountering something interesting in the water) is often fatal.

Still not a “Gun Death”.
