A 12-year-old Australian boy, Nico Antic, died in the hospital on Saturday, a week after being attacked by a shark in Sydney Harbour. The attack occurred on Sunday in Vaucluse, about 9km from Sydney's central business district, while Nico and friends were jumping off rocks. He sustained severe injuries to both legs and was rescued from the water by his friends. The incident follows a series of shark attacks along Australia's east coast, prompting the closure of dozens of beaches, including those in Sydney, due to murky waters caused by heavy rains, which attract sharks.
