This situation is a brutal and unfortunate reminder that nature and the animal thunderdome can be deadly. Sharks are nothing to mess with.

Perry was a seasoned surfer, instructor and lifeguard who seemingly loved being in the water. Now, he's dead at the age of 49, and died in one of the most horrific ways imaginable.

On top of being a pro surfer, he had multiple acting credits. He appeared in "Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides," "Lost," Hawaii Five-0," "Blue Crush" and "Charlie's Angels 2," according to the BBC.

Our thoughts and prayers are with Perry's friends and family during this incredibly difficult and sad time. Check back to OutKick for any updates we might have, and let me know your thoughts at David.Hookstead@outkick.com.
