Does anyone else think it is strange they haven't said anything since about the cause of death?

Torrance Sambo, became separated from his companion at Sudbury Reef, near Fitzroy Island off the Cairns coast on Saturday in a diving expedition.

Queensland Police Senior Sergeant Matt Cornish said the decision to call off the search was a joint effort.

On Monday police divers located items found on the sea floor belonging to Mr Sambo including flippers.

Detectives are now investigating whether the disappearance could be linked to a shark abduction.

“They have not ruled that out at this stage and they will be looking at any piece of evidence available to find out what happened to this man, to be able to give family and friends closure,” Sergeant Cornish said.

The extensive search covered more than 135 sq/km along the coast.

It's all part of WOKE.

You can't say anyone or anything is violent or that anyone was attacked.

So you say abduction.

Like the good old muzzo mayor who spoke of a terrorist attack murdering a politician as.
"He passed away"

Did the find a body or parts or just some of his things?

They do have crocs up there can we rule that out or is it a possibility?

Some new advice for dealing with severe leg injuries to stop bleeding from femoral artery.

Leftists and the Ayatollahs have a lot in common when it comes to criticism of Islam, they don't tolerate it.

Yeah, that's recently made it to the SLSC community. It seems obvious and wonder why it wasn't thought of before.

Yes, considering 95% of people who identify as being a Shark, do not attack people.

Most sharks are harmless and beneficial, blaming sharks for every bloody leg severing and death is sharkist and should be discouraged.

How many people's have actually got to know a shark?
I'm bet you all get out of the water when a shark comes around, how do you know It's not one of the harmless ones?

You are all sharkophobes and should be ashamed of yourselves
Tutt Tutt.

The recent attack in WA they only found his goggles there was a witness to say it was a shark attack.

It was always the Golden Rule for free diving [years ago].....

Never dive alone. Always dive with another dive buddy.

Not so much these days. Too many sharks trying to take my catch. But it adds another complication to what is already a tricky thing to get right. So I don't go spearing as often these days. I don't push myself too hard with the freediving.
