David Lilienfeld Killed Shark---David Lilienfeld is killed by shark: A surfer died today after he was attacked by a Great White shark in South Africa. David Lilienfeld, 20, was body boarding in the Indian Ocean at around midday when the 16ft beast struck.

Witnesses watched in horror from the beach as Mr Lilienfeld was dragged underwater by the deadly predator in the sea at Koeel Bay east of Cape Town.

And soon after the fatal attack, the spotlight fell on a National Geographic documentary crew who were accused of risking public safety by luring sharks in close to the shore for filming.

NSRI spokesman Craig Lambinon confirmed Mr Lilienfeld's body was found on rocks on the shore and said his severed right leg had yet to be recovered.

He also confirmed that the surfer had been in the water alongside his brother, who witnessed the attack.

He said: 'The deceased man sustained complete amputation of his right leg, below the hip, while body boarding with his brother and friends and he was rescued from the water by his brother, friends and bystanders.
