A 17-year-old girl died on Monday following being attacked by a shark while surfing with her father off the southern coast of Western Australia. Her mother and two younger sisters witnessed the horrific event from the beach.
A spokesman at the Esperance police told The Australian that Laeticia Brouwer and her father, both experienced surfers, were “not a long way off-shore” when the attack by an unidentified type of shark occurred.
Brouwer’s father was able to bring her out of the water, where family members and a nurse who was at the beach performed first aid and applied a tourniquet to prevent blood loss.

Everton manager Roberto Martinez has confirmed that the club has made an approach to sign Leeds United star Sam Byram.
BBC journalist Adam Pope revealed on Twitter that the offer is in the region of £4 million, but a deal is yet to be finalised.
Whites head coach Steve Evans said that Everton’s bid has been accepted, paving the way for the player’s representatives to hold talks at Goodison Park, but was quick to point out that Byram is still a Leeds player at present.
“Sam Byram has come into training today [Friday]. His advisors are having a chat with Everton, but just because they’re talking it doesn’t mean it’s done,” he told BBC Radio. “If it doesn’t look like being finished I expect to be able to play him.”

If you're avoiding any Star Wars: The Force Awakens spoilers but still want to buy all the merchandise, you don't need to worry.
All the toys that have been released are apparently from early in the film or are of characters that won't give any secrets away.
Steve Evans, Hasbro's design director for Star Wars toys, explained (via Co.Design): "Star Wars is such a great movie, that the director and Lucasfilm, quite rightly so, want to keep the surprises for the fans controlled. It's like any great marketing campaign.
"You release when it's right for the story. And in the case of Star Wars that story is not just the movie—that story is the whole brand and the whole way it's portrayed and played out to the audiences as well."
There will be further toys on sale in the run up to the film's release, but...

Older females portrayed as sexless while homosexuals and ethnic minorities also suffer, says extensive survey of opinion
Films are perpetuating harmful and out-of-date sexual, racial and gender stereotypes, according to the biggest-ever study of its kind into cinema audiences' opinions.
Of 4,315 adults across the UK who were surveyed, a clear majority believe cinema too often falls back on discredited stereotypes, including sexless older women, drug dealing, oversexualised black people and gay people whose lives are dominated by their sexuality.
Almost two-thirds of those questioned believe older women are "significantly underrepresented" in films. They are rarely portrayed as sexual beings and are, generally, only given marginal roles, according to the findings, published exclusively in the Guardian today.
Respondents said film-makers needed to try harder to create films which authentically reflected their lives.
"The film industry is made up of small companies who work in an isolated fashion. They don't have the...
