After being mauled by a shark off the Hawaiian island of Oahu, a lifeguard who starred in the fourth Pirates of Caribbean film has passed away.

According to Honolulu emergency authorities, 49-year-old Tamayo Perry, who has also starred in Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle and Blue Crush, was attacked on Sunday afternoon close to Goat Island.


A caller who claimed to have observed a man suffering from what looked like shark bites reported the incident.

Just prior to 1:00 PM local time, emergency personnel arrived at the Malaekahana Beach location.

According to Honolulu Emergency Services Department spokesperson Shayne Enright, paramedics assisted with the declaration of death after rescuers used a jet ski to transport Mr. Perry, an Ocean Safety lifeguard and surfing instructor, to land.

According to Mr. Enright, Mr. Perry started his employment with the Ocean Safety department in July 2016 while working as a lifeguard on the North Shore.

The Honolulu Star Advertiser noted in 2011 that he had an appearance as a pirate in Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides.

After the assault, representatives of Ocean Safety placed shark warning signs nearby.




Mr. Perry, according to Kurt Lager, acting chief of Honolulu Ocean Safety, was "a lifeguard loved by all".

"On the North Shore, he is highly regarded. He's a world-renowned professional surfer," Mr. Lager remarked.

"Tamayo's personality was infectious and as much as people loved him, he loved everyone else more."

Mayor of Honolulu Rick Blangiardi described Mr. Perry as a "legendary waterman and highly respected," calling his passing "a tragic loss."
