Police in Western Australia say a teenage girl was killed in a suspected shark attack in Perth after she jumped from her jet ski.
According to police, the 16-year-old was pulled from the Swan River with critical injuries.
Emergency personnel provided medical assistance to her at the scene, but she died, Police Acting Inspector Paul Robinson said."There was possibly a pod of dolphins seen nearby and the young female jumped in the water to swim nearby the dolphins.
He said the Department of Fisheries had advised him it was unusual for a shark to be so far down the river, which flows through Perth into the Indian Ocean.
