Shark Attack Kills Teen in Brazil, While Searches Continue for Missing Woman in Australia and Winter Storm Threatens East Coast
A 13-year-old boy died in Brazil after a shark attack, while in Australia, human remains were found in the search for a woman missing since 2023. Meanwhile, the East Coast of the United States is bracing for a potential winter storm as severe cold persists.
In Brazil, Deivson Rocha Dantas, 13, died on Thursday after being mauled by a shark at Chifre beach in Pernambuco, a popular tourist destination, according to the State Committee for Monitoring Shark Incidents (CEMIT). The boy was taken to a hospital but "did not survive his injuries," CEMIT said in a news release. Dr. Levy Dalton, who treated the victim, told UOL Notícias Brasil that the boy had been bitten on the right thigh and suffered a cardiorespiratory arrest. "Unfortunately, we were unable to resuscitate him, (...) unfortunately we couldn't do much for him," Dalton said.
In Australia, the search for Celine Cremer, a 31-year-old Belgian national who went missing in Tasmania in June 2023, yielded the discovery of human remains and clothing, police said Friday. Cremer was last seen on June 20, when she left her car for a walk near Philosopher's Falls in Waratah. The search was suspended in July 2023 due to the freezing, wet weather, with police stating she could not have survived. According to police, some human remains were found by a bushwacker Wednesday near Philosopher's Falls. On Friday, police said they had located more remains and items of clothing that investigators say likely belong to Cremer. "Today's search resulted in the location of further remains and items of clothing, which investigators believe are likely to belong to Celine Cremer," police said.
Meanwhile, in the United States, the East Coast is facing the possibility of another winter storm this weekend, following a severe storm that brought snow, ice, and deadly conditions to a large portion of the country. The National Weather Service said that the effects of the previous storm are still being felt, and repeated bouts of Arctic air are expected to keep temperatures below freezing. This could result in the longest period of cold weather in decades for the Eastern and Southeastern U.S., according to the National Weather Service. A potential storm is brewing off the coast of the Carolinas, and meteorologists anticipate it will affect at least stretches of the coastline and surrounding marine areas.
