Joel Bacud, 39, was attacked and killed by a shark while fishing in deep sea some three hours offshore of Paoay town in Ilocos Norte, Philippines. The attacked occurred on 6 November 2008.
Bacud was fishing with his 17-year-old son Louie in their motorized banca when the elder Bacud dived in deep water to check on their fishing net.
A shark suddenly sprung and attacked the elder Bacud, Paoay town police chief Senior Inspector Dexter Corpuz told the Philippine Star.
The victim’s son, who was unhurt, brought his father’s body to shore in the banca.
The shark bit Bacud’s back, particularly on the right side, his right arm had a big wound while his upper torso had nine lacerations from the shark’s teeth, according to the report.
The father and son went fishing around 5am and the attack happened around 10 to 11am local time.
He told the newspaper that the elder Bacud jumped from the motorized banca with some bloodied fish catch which apparently drew the shark’s attention.
