'Pirates Of The Caribbean' actor killed in Hawaii shark attack
A Hawaiian surfer who also acted on TV and in movies including Johnny Depp’s Pirates Of The Caribbean has died in a shark attack, authorities said.
Tamayo Perry, 49, died on Sunday at Malaekahana Beach on Oahu, moments after the encounter.
Perry played a buccaneer in the fourth installment of the popular swashbuckling franchise, Pirates Of The Caribbean: On Stranger Tides.
He also appeared in the re-boot of Hawaii Five-O and in cult TV series Lost, which was largely filmed on the US archipelago, as well as in the 2002 surf movie Blue Crush.
In addition to his big and small screen appearances, Perry was a lifeguard and professional surfer who was well known in the local community.
Honolulu acting Ocean Safety chief Kurt Lager said as a lifeguard, Perry was “loved by all” on Oahu’s north shore.
“Tamayo’s personality was infectious, and as much as people loved him, he loved everyone else more,” he said.
Honolulu Mayor Rick Blangiardi told a press conference on Sunday that Perry’s death was “tragic.”
“Tamayo was a legendary waterman and highly respected. (He) grew up right over here, and just a great member of our ocean safety team.” – AFP

Hawaii weather: USGS revised 4.6 magnitude earthquake off Kona coast, south swell, passing showers
HAWAII VOLCANOES NATIONAL PARK, Hawaii (AP) — The on-and-off eruption of Hawaii’s Kilauea volcano broke a record Monday with the number of periods it has produced fountains of lava since it began erupting in December 2024, the Hawaiian Volcano Observatory said.
Monday marked 48 fountaining episodes, setting the record for any one eruption on Kilauea, said Katie Mulliken, a geologist and spokesperson with the observatory.
Episodes are separated by periods during which little to no lava erupts. Since lava is coming from the same vents in a crater at Kilauea’s summit, it is the same overall eruption, Mulliken said in an email.
There are several notable aspects of the current eruption, she said, including how accessible it is for viewing by residents and tourists. An eruption during the 1980s, in which 47 lava fountaining episodes occurred over about 3 1/2 years, occurred in a more remote area, she said.
The ongoing eruption is also reshaping the topography at the summit, she said.
But the lava fountains also can impact neighboring communities with volcanic fragments and ash, known as tephra.
Kilauea, located on Hawaii Island, is one of the world’s most active volcanoes.
