On Saturday, Marcelo Rocha Santos, 51, was bitten off a hand and a large chunk of meat on his leg by a carnivore at Piedade Beach in Brazil. He lay motionless on the beach, surrounded by shocked bystanders, although he was subsequently taken to a local hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
A lifeguard was on duty at the time of the attack, but he failed to stop the incident. It is reported that there have been 12 shark attacks near the beach before.
Mechanic Gomez told reporters that the victim was drinking with friends at the time. He went into the water around 2 p.m., when the weather turned overcast and the sea became choppy. Gomez said: "A friend of mine went to sea with the people who were attacked. Suddenly, he saw the man struggling. There was a lot of blood in the water. ”

Silva, who was in the sea with the victim at the time, told reporters: "There are no toilets on the beach, so I run to the sea to urinate." I was next to him, and the water was already at our waists. ”
Although Santos's friends took him to shore, he fell to the ground unconscious. It's not known which shark attacked him, but experts say it could be bull sharks or tiger sharks.
Shark attacks are more common at this time of year because the rainy season can muddy the local waters.
Despite various signs warning people not to go into the water, the lifeguards on duty did not warn the two men to leave the water, as the depth of the water was only up to their waists.

The Daily Mail said there have been 62 shark attacks on humans, 25 of them, in the Brazilian state of Pernambuco, where the beach is located, since construction at the port of Suape disrupted the animal's breeding and hunting area in 1992.
