New shark attack. Shortly before 18 pm last night on the spot Boucan Ti, less than 200 meters from shore. An isolated bodyboarder is grabbed by a shark. On the beach, witnesses see him raise his hand, then pour on two occasions. They tried to intervene but were deterred by the sight of several fins. They can only follow eyes the body of the unfortunate who drift. When bodyboarder is returned to the shore at the height of the hotel Saint-Alexis, it is already too late. Eddy Auber has severed his right arm. He suffers from two deep bites in the thigh and the side of the torso. The young man had probably died of a hemorrhage.
