A young Russian man was mauled to death by a shark off one of Egypt's Red Sea resorts, according to Egyptian and Russian authorities.
The man, named as Vladimir Popov by Russian media, died after being attacked by a tiger shark in the waters near the city of Hurghada, Egypt's environment ministry said.
Footage circulating online, purportedly of the attack, shows a man thrashing about in the water before being repeatedly attacked by a shark circling him and then dragged under.
The ministry later said the shark had been caught and was being examined in a laboratory to try to determine the reasons for the rare attack.
A 46-mile (74km) stretch of the coastline was closed off by authorities, who announced it would remain off-limits until Sunday.

I watched a video of a guy analyzing the attack frame by frame on Youtube (Lexusant) in a 40 minute video. Won't be surprised if he is here, as he is apparently a sick bastard like us, fascinated by such graphic fatalities. Here are some frames that shows how sad this story is and the sheer horror poor Vlad must have gone through.
Basically, he ephasizes that Vlad's arms were ripped off and he is just a torso with legs at this point:
His jaw was probably also exposed/bitten off, judging the condition his face appears in:
And here we can see the shark's nose approaching for a bite at Vald's torso:
Some other interesting details. They say the same shark was responsible for another victim - Elisabeth Sauer. They also say, that this same shark was pregnant in both cases, which restricts her from hunting at her best, first time she had easy snack, second time apparently she had some craving for the same and returned to the same snack beach. After Vlad some vigilantes embarked on a revenge mission and killed the naughty shark, retrieving Vlad's hand and head, helping complete the puzzle.
I'll be avoiding Red Sea for now...
Edit: forgot to add - according to one article Egyptians want to mummify the shark and place it in a museum. Those Egyptians with their passion about mummies, right

Poor bastard. I can't even imagine what was going through his head while getting ripped apart. Case and point why I don't swim out in the ocean, that ain't our territory.

Curious if he was swimming in an area where he wasn't supposed to? Or if this was an area tourists/locals typically swam in.

"to try to determine the reasons for the rare attack"...hm, that is a tough one, why would a shark attack anything, maybe it went crazy! Let me quote Chris Rock in helping them determine - The shark didn't go crazy, the shark went shark!

It's always funny when people are like “the shark just mistook him for a seal or something!” Like that detracts from the obvious. I'm sure that's what Vlad had going through his head as he got his limbs mauled off lol.

It is better than being mag dumped by a douche bag mass shooter. I mean imagine being killed by Adam Lanza. A 6'2, 70lb, pale white, pedophile. No thank you! I will take the shark. LOL

Adam Lanza was actually 6'0 and 112 lbs, not 6'2 and 70 lbs.

I mean as far as pain I think I'd prefer getting shot rather than have my limbs mauled off before dying of blood loss. It would be humiliating to be killed by a retard like Lanza tho.
