Police confirm the death of a diver attacked by a shark two days ago off the coast of Hadera, after finding human remains yesterday during their search.
Law enforcement sent the remains to the Abu Kabir forensics institute for examination yesterday and just now received test results back that “confirm the identity of the missing swimmer,” a law enforcement spokesman says.
Police will continue searching for “additional findings” on Hadera Stream beach, the site of the attack, and express their condolences to the victim’s family.
“We will continue to accompany them throughout this difficult process,” the statement continues.
