In that incident, the man had been bitten on the lower legs and could not be revived.
Queensland Police did not reveal details of the injuries sustained by the latest victim, nor did it disclose the man’s identity.

Shark attacks around Australia are more common than in many other parts of the world, though they are often not fatal.
There were four encounters with sharks across Australia in January, according to the Australian Shark-Incident Database, only one of which was fatal.
Popular swimming and surfing spots tend to have measures to protect against attacks.
