The first recorded fatal shark attack of 2023 was recorded in Mexico this month after a great white shark reportedly decapitated a man who was diving for mollusks.

Manuel Lopez was diving in the Gulf of California when a nearly 20-foot great white shark attacked him while he was roughly 50 feet below the surface.

The attack happened back during the first week in January but was only recently recorded as shark attack death.

Witnesses who were fishing with Lopez said that the great white shark literally ripped his head off his body.

“He was diving when the animal attacked him, impressively ripping off his head and biting both shoulders,” a translator for the fisherman said, according to Fox News.

A seafood shortage in the area has reportedly forced some to go to more dangerous lengths to find food, thus putting them in contact with apex predators like great white sharks.

Insider reported that divers have been warned about the shark infested waters and that most were staying out of the water.

Divers have also been warned against wearing black wetsuits because it can reportedly make the divers look like seals to the sharks, the report said. Instead, some of them have been advised to paint white stripes on their wetsuits which could make the shark mistake the diver for a kind of poisonous sea snake.

The report said that the process for catching the seafood that Lopez was searching for “can generate sounds and movement that can attract sharks.”

The government reportedly offers a small stipend for divers who can’t dive due to the danger, but it is usually not enough to make ends meet.

Former Clinton adviser Dick Morris claimed on Sunday that any chance President Joe Biden had at reelection in 2024 had effectively been cut off at the knees by the still-unfolding classified document scandal.

Morris, a former adviser to Democratic former President Bill Clinton spoke about the situation with John Catsimatidis on his WABC radio show, “The Cats Roundtable,” saying, “That’s going to be the absolute end for Biden.”

Morris pointed out the fact that the documents — which have thus far been found at the Penn Biden Center in Washington, D.C., as well as Biden’s home and garage in Wilmington, Delaware — were located in places where the president’s embattled son Hunter may have had access to them.

Several reports have indicated that Hunter Biden listed the Wilmington home as his place of residence in 2017 following his divorce — at which time he was still serving as a board member of Burisma and his father had already left the White House.

Morris also addressed recent polling that indicates just one-fourth of Democrats want Biden to run again in 2024.

“When Biden as president can’t get more than 25% of the primary vote in his own party, that’s near death. He’s so incredibly vulnerable,” Morris said, adding, “You’d think he’d be at 40% or 50% at the least. That means pretty much anybody that breathes on him can knock him over.”

Morris also claimed that the contents of the documents in question could prove troublesome for Biden as well — especially if they contained anything relating to Hunter Biden’s dealings with Ukraine.

“It’s different. Trump took them like mementos, like an ashtray. A letter from Kim Jong-un that he could show people … [Biden’s situation] is directly linked to a big bribery scandal involving the vice president and his son. That’s a whole other situation,” he said.

Morris’ overall assessment was simple: “It will knock Biden out of the race.”
