A man has died after he was attacked by a shark while fishing with his family.Â
Emergency services were called to Humpy Island in the Keppel Bay Islands National Park, about 18km off the central Queensland coast, following reports a man had been attacked.
The 40-year-old was bitten by the shark while fishing with family members about 4.30pm, a Queensland Police spokesman told AAP.
Despite efforts by paramedics to save his life, the man succumbed to his injuries just before 6pm.
Police will prepare a report for the coroner.
