A lifeguard who appeared in the fourth Pirates Of The Caribbean movie has died after being attacked by a shark off Oahu in Hawaii.
Tamayo Perry, 49, who has also starred in Charlie’s Angels: Full Throttle and Blue Crush, was attacked near Goat Island on Sunday afternoon, Honolulu’s emergency services said.
The incident was reported by a caller who said they had seen a man suffering from what appeared to be shark bites.
Emergency services arrived at the scene on Malaekahana Beach just before 1pm local time.
Rescuers brought Mr Perry – an Ocean Safety lifeguard and surfing instructor – to shore by jet ski and paramedics assisted with the death pronouncement, Shayne Enright, of the Honolulu Emergency Services Department, said.
Mr Perry, who worked as a lifeguard on the North Shore, began his career with the Ocean Safety department in July 2016, Mr Enright said.
He appeared in Pirates Of The Caribbean: On Stranger Tides.
Ocean Safety personnel posted shark warnings in the area following the attack.

Acting Honolulu Ocean Safety chief Kurt Lager said Mr Perry was “a lifeguard loved by all”.
“He’s well known on the North Shore. He’s a professional surfer known worldwide,” Mr Lager said.
“Tamayo’s personality was infectious and as much as people loved him, he loved everyone else more.”
“Tamayo was a legendary waterman and highly respected,” Honolulu mayor Rick Blangiardi said, calling Mr Perry’s death “a tragic loss”.
