A teenager has died after his penis was ripped off in a horrific shark attack as he swam with friends a the beach.
Horrified holidaymakers rushed to Jose Ernestor da Silva's aid and pulled him from the sea as the terrifying attack unfolded.
The shark struck as lifeguards told the youngsters to come closer to the shore, according to reports.
Jose passed away at the Restauracao Hospital after rescuers desperately attempted to stem his bleeding at the scene.
Footage shows rescuers carrying the 18-year-old onto Piedade beach near Recife, Brazil.
They try to stem the blood by tying garments around the wound, while others can be heard tell the clearly stunned teenager to “breathe”.
