A woman has been eliminated by a great white shark in an uncommon attack off the coast of Maine, US officials state.
The lady was swimming near Bailey Island – close to the city of Portland – on Monday when she was attacked.
The victim was named as Julie Holowach, 63, from New York City.
It is the first fatal shark attack on record in Maine – and just the second attack ever recorded there. Sharks are not typical in the location due to the cooler waters.
