A man has died following a shark attack near Hull Heads in Far North Queensland.
Emergency services were called to the Hull River boat ramp, 160 kilometres south of Cairns, just after 12pm, after receiving reports of a shark attack.
A 39-year-old man is understood to have been attacked while at Kennedy Shoal, a reef site, before being retrieved from the water.
He later died from his injuries.
Queensland Police said a report will be prepared for the coroner
It is the second fatal shark attack in Australian waters in as many weeks, after the death of a 38-year-old Perth man off Rottnest Island on May 16.
Steven Mattaboni was attacked about a kilometre offshore while spearfishing with friends at Horseshoe Reef off the WA coast.
