FATAL - reported 4 Sept 2005 - fishing trawler, Thailand - fisherman attacked

In a rather bizarre and tragic incident a Thai fishing trawler crewman was untangling fishing nets on the deck of the boat when he was bitten on the arm and leg by a two-metre long, 200kg shark which had been brought aboard in the nets.

The crewman, a Cambodian migrant worker identified only as Ham, 21, bled to death on the boat. The incident took place about 100 nautical miles from shore.

No other details were immediately available.
