Pirates of the Caribbean actor Tamayo Perry killed in shark attack

Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides actor Tamayo Perry died Monday after being attacked by a shark.

Perry, a surfer and lifeguard who appeared in Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides and Blue Crush, was bitten multiple times by a shark near a beach in Hawaii, an American media outlet reported.

Rescue teams arrived at Mālaekahana Beach after receiving a call about a man suffering from several shark bites.

Rescue workers brought Tamayo Perry to shore by jet ski and confirmed he had died at the scene from the shark attack.

The deceased had worked as a lifeguard since July 2016 and was also a professional surfer for over ten years.

Perry was “a lifeguard loved by all,” Kurt Lager, acting head of Honolulu Ocean Safety, said at a news conference, according to AP.

“He’s well-known on the North Shore. He’s a professional surfer who’s known all over the world,” Lager said. “Tamayo’s personality was infectious and as much as people loved him, he loved everyone else.”

Perry portrayed one of the buccaneers in Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides.

The 2011 film, starring Johnny Depp as pirate captain Jack Sparrow, also starred Penelope Cruz and Geoffrey Rush.

In addition to the Pirates film, Perry also had roles in Lost, Hawaii Five-0 and Charlie’s Angels sequel Full Throttle, while also appearing in a Coca-Cola advertisement.
