'Pirates of the Caribbean' actor Tamayo Perry’s widow ‘devastated’ after his shark attack death
The widow of Hawaiian lifeguard and actor Tamayo Perry spoke out about her husband’s death after he was attacked and killed by a shark.
Tamayo Perry, 49, a City and County of Honolulu Ocean Safety lifeguard, died Sunday after being bitten by a shark near Goat Island.
“I feel so upset and devastated, but I also have a weird calmness in my heart knowing that he’s in a better place,” Emilia Perry said in an interview with “Good Morning America” that aired on Wednesday. “It was like I went on the best 25-year vacation of my life with him, and now it’s over.”
The 49-year-old was a professional surfer and an actor who appeared in the movies “Blue Crush” and “Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides,” and in an episode of “Hawaii Five-0.”

Emilia’s belief that her husband is in a better place comes from his devout Christian faith, she said.
Even before he died, Tamayo reportedly texted his family, “I can’t wait to meet the king. I’m excited, not scared. We got to pray and forgive and love.”
Emilia told the station her husband stood for “how to be a better human.”
“To love everybody when you have them, ‘cause you never know when they’re gonna be taken away,” she said.
Honolulu Ocean Safety and the city’s fire, police and emergency medical services departments responded shortly before 1 p.m. Sunday to Mālaekahana Beach on Oahu’s North Shore following a report that a man appeared to have suffered shark bites, Honolulu Emergency Services Department’s Shayne Enright told The Associated Press.

Lifeguards used jet skis to pull Perry to shore, where paramedics made the death pronouncement, Enright said.
After the shark attack, Ocean Safety personnel posted shark warnings in the area.
Perry began his career with the Ocean Safety department in July 2016.
Honolulu Ocean Safety Acting Chief Kurt Lager described Perry as a lifeguard “loved by all.”

“He’s well known on the North Shore,” Lager said during a news conference. “He’s a professional surfer known worldwide. Tamayo’s personality was infectious and as much as people loved him, he loved everyone else more.”
Just two days after Tamayo’s death, ABC News reported, another “aggressive” shark was spotted near Oahu.

Jesse King, a friend and coworker of Perry’s, told ABC that despite his friend’s fate, he would likely tell other surfers to continue surfing.
“For people that are surfers and avid ocean users, we do it because we love it,” King told the network.
Fox News Digital’s Landon Mion and Stephen Sorace, along with The Associated Press contributed to this report.

Court document details attack on SF mayor’s bodyguard as Lurie responds to incident
SAN FRANCISCO (KGO) — For the first time since the attack on San Francisco Mayor Daniel Lurie’s bodyguard, one of the suspects was in court on Tuesday afternoon.
On Monday, District Attorney Brooke Jenkins filed charges against the man. Those charges include:
- Resisting an executive officer
- Assault with force to cause bodily injury
- Willful disobedience of a court order
- Unlawful lodging at the same location from a previous citation
Mayor Daniel Lurie said the incident won’t deter him from walking the streets of the city doing what he was doing moments before his bodyguard was attacked last week.
PREVIOUS STORY: SF mayor was ‘worried’ about 2 men on street, checked on them before bodyguard attack
Multiple angles covered a dramatic altercation between one of San Francisco Mayor Daniel Lurie’s security detail and individuals on the street.
“I think I need to be able to see it myself and not just stay cloistered up and not be out of the streets. I walked the streets this morning and had some great interactions and was able to help some people,” said Mayor Lurie.
We obtained the detention motion, which revealed specific details about the incident.
The document said Mayor Lurie was riding in a car northbound on Larking Street with two of his security detail. The mayor asked the driver to stop and got out of the car with one of the officers to approach four people who were blocking the road; “two were sitting on the sidewalk… one was actually sitting in the street.” The document says one of the individuals “was aggressive” and “stepped towards the mayor,” after he asked them to move out of the road a few times. This led the bodyguard to position himself between the mayor and the individual. The document states the individual “got very close” to the officer and threatened him and said, “Bruce Lee I’ll kick your a**!”
The officer, according to the document, proceeded to shove the individual away from him “with both hands to defend himself and to create distance,” causing the individual to fall backwards on the sidewalk.
The individual quickly stood up and “rushed at the officer.”
Multiple people in the area captured the altercation on video.
We asked the mayor if he would do anything different in the future.

“I’m not going to stop doing it. I will consult with our detail and our chief and make sure we can do this safely,” said Mayor Lurie.
San Francisco Supervisor Rafael Mandelman said he is glad the mayor sees the crisis on the streets up close.
“A lot of people will cross the street to get away from it hide from it. We don’t want our city hiding from this problem,” said Supervisor Mandelman.
Kevin Benedicto, vice president of the San Francisco police commission, said they will be looking into the incident.
“A number of commissioners are going to want to ask the chief about updates about the incident just to make sure we have all the policies and procedures in place,” said Benedicto.
The Individual who attacked the mayor’s bodyguard has been charged in the past for criminal threats in 2019 and 2020.
One of the arraignments is set for Wednesday at 9 a.m.

Seattle goal overturned for goalie interference as Predators complete 4-2 comeback win
SEATTLE — Ryan Ufko scored his first NHL goal with 5:35 to play in the second period to put the Nashville Predators ahead to stay in a 4-2 win over the Seattle Kraken on Tuesday night.
The rookie skated in from the right of the goal, dodged between two defenders, and tucked the puck past Seattle goalie Joey Daccord to give the Predators a 3-2 lead and two critical points in their chase for a wild-card playoff spot. Right now, the team is on the outside of the playoff picture.
Tyson Jost and Reid Schaefer also scored second-period goals to erase Seattle’s 2-0 first-period lead, and Steve Stamkos added an empty-netter for his 31st goal of the season.
Jonathan Marchessault had a pair of assists for Nashville, which had lost four of its previous five, and Juuse Saros made 43 saves.
Kaapo Kakko scored just 2:14 into the game, and Matty Beniers scored at 9:46 of the first period to give the Kraken a 2-0 lead. Beniers scored from a tough angle, firing from the bottom of the right circle and over the shoulder of Saros just inside the far post.
Daccord finished with 23 saves.
Seattle’s Shane Wright scored a goal in the second, but it was waved off because of goalie interference when Ryker Evans slid into Saros and took out his feet.
The Kraken were without left wing Jaden Schwartz, who was hit in the face by a skate during Seattle’s 7-4 loss to Ottawa on Saturday.
Kraken, clinging to a wild-card slot, have now lost five of their last seven games.
