Pirates of The Caribbean star Tamayo Perry has been found dead following a shark attack while surfing in Hawaii.

The Lost star, who also worked as a life guard, went surfing on his break when he sustained the injuries.

Hawaii’s Acting Ocean Safety Chief Kurt Lager released a statement following the death of the Blue Crush actor and said: “Tamayo Perry was a lifeguard loved by all, well-known on the North Shore, a professional surfer known worldwide around the world.

“Tamayo’s personality was infectious, and as much as people loved him, he loved everyone else more. Our condolences go out to Tamayo’s family and to the entire lifeguard ohana. We’re asking for some privacy for his family at this time.”
