A 16-year-old boy was brutally mauled by a shark while swimming alone off the coast of Jamaica, marking an extremely rare attack for the Caribbean island, authorities said.
Divers found Jahmari Reid’s decapitated body Tuesday morning, one day after he vanished during his solo spearfishing expedition near the popular tourist town of Montego Bay.
The teen’s left arm was also missing and the remainder of his body was badly mutilated, witnesses told the Jamaica Observer.
A tiger shark was spotted stalking the tropical waters where Jahmari’s severed arm was found, leading rescue teams to suspect the ocean predator was the culprit.
