TAMAYO Perry, 49, died after being killed by what was thought to be a shark attack.
EMS in Honolulu said that Tamayo’s body was found on Sunday with several bite marks on it.
Perry was in a lot of big hits, like Disney’s Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides.
He had a part in the 2002 Hollywood hit Blue Crush and was in the TV show Hawaii Five-0.
Many people have written tributes to the star. One friend wrote, “I just heard that an old friend Tamayo Perry died from a shark attack on Oahu at Goat Island.” That’s so sad. He was really nice.
Tamayo loved to surf.
Perry also worked as a lifeguard and surfer for a long time.
At the terrible time of his death, he was giving surf lessons.
Acting Ocean Safety Chief Kurt Lager said in a statement, “Tamayo Perry was a lifeguard loved by all, well-known on the North Shore, and a professional surfer known all over the world.”
Where did Tamayo pass away?
Tamayo had been surfing off of Goat Island, which is also called Mokuauia and is in Hawaii. It is near Laie, which is 32 miles north of Honolulu.
Officials told the Star-Advertiser that he was found at 1:00 p.m. and that lifeguards took him to shore on a jet ski.
