Girl, aged 14, dies after Florida shark attack
Mr Dicus, aged 54, paddled over to the wounded 14-year-old girl, who had been swimming on a boogie board about 100 yards offshore. “Right next to her was the shark, about to come up and attack her again,” Mr Dicus said. He put the girl on his surfboard and the shark - which appeared to be a bull shark about 8ft long - went after her hand.
“He just followed us right to the beach,” Mr Dicus said. “He was determined to finish lunch. I hate to put it that way, but that was what he was trying to do.”
