Timothy Thompson’s pregnant wife has paid tribute to the Australian surfer and father-to-be, who was killed by a great white shark on Sunday.
The identity of a surfer killed in a shark attack on Sunday in Australia has been revealed. Timothy Thompson,31, was surfing in CoffsHarbour at Shelly and Emerald Beach, off Australia’s eastern coast, when his left arm was savaged by a great white shark. The beach, located around 330 miles north of Sydney, was particularly busy at the time, crammed with Australians celebrating Father’s Day, Sky News reported. Thompson himself was awaiting the birth of a child when he died. Katie Thompson, his wife of six months, shared a tribute to her husband on her Facebook on Monday. «All I know right now is that I have no choice but to keep going because I have a little piece of you growing in me,» she wrote. «My heart aches for our baby who will never get to meet you.» Paramedics rushed to the scene of the attack, joining bystanders and surfers in the effort to administer CPR to Thompson.
