Sydney shark attack victim named as British expat Simon Nellist

Australian police on Thursday named British expat Simon Nellist as the victim of a fatal attack by a great white shark in Sydney.

Local authorities have deployed baited drumlines to try to catch the animal and move it into deeper waters, with beaches remaining closed after the city's first such attack in almost 60 years.

Nellist, 35, was swimming when he was mauled by the shark on Wednesday and later died of "catastrophic injuries", according to paramedics.

He was described by police as a diving instructor who spent much of his spare time swimming in the ocean. Friends said he was about to be married but that his next great love was the water.
