A kitesurfer has died in a tragic accident in New Caledonia, the French overseas territory.

The kitesurfer, a 39-year-old man, was kitesurfing with a friend in Poindimié, on the north-east coast of Grande Terre, New Caledonia's main island. He got tangled in the ropes of his kite and ended up in the water. His friend wanted to rescue him, but he had to abandon his efforts when he was attacked by sharks. 

The prosecutor's investigation revealed that the kitesurfer died by drowning. His lower limbs were torn off by sharks.
