ALBAWABA Russian marine biologist Dmitry Orlov suspects that the tiger shark, which fatally attacked 23-year-old Vladimir Popov last week, had been responsible for the deaths of two tourists last year and was pregnant.
The scientist, who is the founder and CEO of RuDIVE, a company operating in the Red Sea, suspected that the shark had killed tourists last year, as reported by the British newspaper "The Mirror."
In July of last year, a 68-year-old Austrian tourist named Elisabeth Sauer was snorkeling when she was attacked in the water.
Another victim, a Romanian tourist, was brutally attacked and devoured about 650 feet away.
Orlov stated, "I believe that this tiger shark was pregnant. There was a pregnant tiger shark last year."
The incident involving the Russian tourist occurred at a tourist resort in the city of Hurghada on Thursday, June 8, 2023.
A deadly shark attacked a 23-year-old Russian tourist, tearing him in half in front of his father and the rest of the tourist group present on the beach during this horrifying moment.
