A 15-year-old surfer has died in the third fatal shark attack in the waters off South Australia state in recent months.

Khai Cowley was attacked by a suspected great white shark Thursday while surfing with his father off remote Ethel Beach on the Yorke Peninsula west of his hometown of Adelaide, authorities said. He was brought to shore but emergency services were unable to revive him.

Surfers also died in shark attacks in remote parts of South Australia in May and October. But their bodies were never recovered.
