An Egyptian security official said the shark bit off the 52-year-old man’s leg in the attack on Saturday and his body was later moved to a local hospital. Police were conducting an investigation. An official from the German embassy in Cairo said it had received reports that a German citizen died in the area but was not aware of the cause of death. Egypt is one of the world’s top diving destinations. Similar attacks have happened in the past – in 2010, a shark killed a 70-year-old German tourist while she was snorkelling. |
