"British expat's death by great white shark ruled as 'provoked incident'"
The International Shark Attack File has classified the death of a British expat in Australia, who was killed by a 15-foot great white shark, as a "provoked incident." Simon Nellist, a diving instructor, died in February 2022 after being attacked near Little Bay, southeast of Sydney. Witnesses described the attack as unprovoked, but researchers believe that Nellist was swimming in an area where people were fishing, which may have excited the shark or induced atypical behavior. The incident shocked the world, and extremely graphic video of the attack emerged online.
