Police in the state of Western Australia have confirmed that a man has died in a shark attack just north of Perth. Witnesses on the beach say two people went into the water, but only one of them managed to get back, ABC Australia reports.

Just a few days ago, another swimmer was attacked by a shark, and authorities have closed about 12 kilometres of beaches in the area.
