65-year-old swimmer dies after shark attack in South Africa

Janine Lochrenberg, a 65-year-old former nuclear radiographer, died Tuesday after a shark attacked her while she was swimming with a group at Orient Beach in KuGompo, South Africa. Mike Loewe, who was in the water with her, heard her cry; two swimmers and Loewe’s son brought her ashore, where attempts to revive her were made despite severe injuries to her arm and thigh. Police, called to the scene at about 7 a.m., found that she had died, and swimmers reported seeing a shark’s tail and fin. Several nearby beaches were closed and the public was urged to stay out of the water.
