Two more killed in shark attacks in Pacific

An American surfer has died after being attacked by a shark on the Pacific coast of Mexico only four days after another man was killed by a great white shark off California.

Marine biologists are now asking if the attacks are an astonishing coincidence — it has been 30 years since a fatal shark attack on Mexico's Pacific coast and almost 15 years since anyone was killed by a shark off Southern California — or if another factor is at work.

Shark kills surfer in southern Mexico

28 minutes ago
ACAPULCO, Mexico (AP) — A shark killed a surfer Friday off Mexico's Pacific coast — six miles from a beach where an American man was killed in a similar attack last month, authorities said.
Osvaldo Mata Valdovinos, 21, of Mexico, was attacked while surfing off Pantla beach west of Acapulco, said local Civil Protection Director Jaime Vazquez Sobreira. The shark bit off his left hand and broke one of his legs, Vazquez Sobreira said.
The attack came less than a month after Adrian Ruiz, 24, of San Francisco died after being bitten by a shark while surfing off Troncones beach. Mexican authorities used baited hooks to catch sharks in the area the next day.
