Yes a man is dead. BY HIS OWN STUPIDITY, He was swimming 300 yards off shore IN THE OCEAN. He is not an apex predator at that point, he is bait. I put him in the category of experimental aircraft flyer's and those people who do stunts 100’s of feet off the ground. You play stupid games you win stupid prizes. Reminds of the Dan Aykroid skit of the guy who tried to kiss a bear... Ya see, i put a marshmallow in my mouth to entice the bear. I do feel for the family but the point is, he brought this upon himself and caused his family this grief. ..

Right up there with the moron who got eaten by the bear in Alaska that he was trying to commune with.

Re: swimming 300 yards off shore IN THE OCEAN.
That was my first take, but the article actually says “300 yards south” of a specific beach.
It sounds like he may have been swimming in an unguarded area, possibly alone, which is also a dangerous invitation to become lunch for some sea critter.

The article is poorly written. It says he was 300 yards south of the beach. They meant he was 300 yards down from the public beach, not 300 yards off shore.
