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, on Saturday 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.
