How many people have died from shark attacks in the past year?

As an AI system, my access to real-time information and databases is limited, so I cannot provide you with the exact number of people who have died from shark attacks in the past year. However, I can provide you with information based on data available to me up until September 2022.

According to the Florida Museum of Natural History's International Shark Attack File (ISAF), which tracks shark attacks globally, there were 73 confirmed unprovoked shark attacks on humans worldwide in 2021, resulting in 11 fatalities. This number represents an increase in both incidents and fatalities compared to 2020, when there were 58 attacks and 6 deaths.

The ISAF also reported that the United States had the highest number of unprovoked shark attacks in 2021, with 32 attacks, followed by Australia (20 attacks) and Brazil (7 attacks).

However, it's important to note that the number of shark attacks and fatalities can fluctuate year to year and may have changed since my last data update. For the most current information, I recommend referring to reputable sources like the ISAF or other relevant organizations that track and report on shark attacks.
