Jamaican teen found decapitated after shark encounter

A horrific shark attack claimed the life of a young Jamaican teenager near the popular Caribbean tourist destination of Montego Bay.

According to Report, which cites CBS News, Jahmari Reid, a 16-year-old local high school student, was found decapitated and missing an arm after going on a solo spearfishing expedition on Monday.

Jahmari's whereabouts remained a mystery until Tuesday morning, when a group of fishermen spotted a body in the water with injuries consistent with a shark attack.

Robert Robinson, Jahmari's uncle and a fisherman, said the family began to "grow concerned" when his nephew failed to return from the sea at his "usual time," organizing a search party in an effort to locate him.

The Trelawny Police Division were investigating the incident.
