In 1992, a 20-year-old woman named Julie Dimperio Hoag was attacked by a great white shark while surfing near Santa Cruz, California. Witnesses saw the shark grab her and pull her underwater. Her remains were never recovered.
In 2001, a 42-year-old man named Lawrence Kahiapo was killed by a great white shark while swimming off the coast of Maui. His body was found with bite marks that indicated the shark had swallowed him whole.
In 2003, a 33-year-old man named David Martin was killed by a great white shark while diving for scallops off the coast of South Africa. His remains were never recovered.
These are just a few examples of the many documented cases of great white shark attacks on humans. While most attacks result in serious injuries, full devourment is relatively rare.
