"Surfer Dies in Fatal Shark Encounter Off Maui Coast"
Jason Carter, a 39-year-old surfer, was killed in a suspected shark attack near Paia on Maui's north side. Despite lifesaving efforts, he died at Maui Memorial Medical Center. The attack, described by an eyewitness as involving a shark as big as a pickup truck, was the first fatal shark encounter in Hawaii last year. Warning signs were posted around the beach, and tributes to Carter have been shared on social media. This incident follows another recent fatal shark attack on a 15-year-old in South Australia.
