A caller told 911 dispatchers that the man's body appeared to have suffered more than one shark bite, the Honolulu Emergency Services Department said in a statement.

Shayne Enright, spokeswoman for the emergency services department, said at a news conference Sunday that rescuers responded to Mālaekahana Beach via jet ski before 1 p.m. and brought Perry to shore, where he was pronounced dead.
"It is with profound sadness that we mourn the loss of one of our incredibly dedicated City and County of Honolulu lifeguards, who tragically lost his life today in an apparent shark attack on the North Shore," Honolulu Mayor Rick Blangiardi said in a statement.
Blangiardi said Perry "exemplified bravery, commitment and a deep sense of duty, serving our community with unwavering dedication."
"His heroic actions and tireless efforts to ensure the safety of our residents and visitors will never be forgotten," he added.
Acting Ocean Safety chief Kurt Lage also said at the news conference that Perry was known as a professional surfer with an "infectious personality" to fans of the sport around the world.
Perry was best known in the surfing world for navigating the potent waves of Pipeline, the iconic North Shore spot known for producing the churning, left-breaking barrel made famous by its appearance in the opening sequence of the original "Hawaii: Five-O" series.

A Deadly Brew

In the Brazilian hospital of Santa Casa de Barra Mansa, an 88-year-old woman, Ilda Vitor Maciel, died of a pulmonary embolism. What caused the pulmonary embolism? Soup.

In September of 2012, Maciel was admitted to the hospital after a stroke. On the 28th, a nursing technician made a fatal mistake: instead of injecting soup into the woman's feeding tube, they injected it into her vein. 12 hours later, Maciel was dead.

While the hospital acknowledges the unfortunate soup incident took place, they deny that it was the cause of her death. However, considering a pulmonary embolism is a blocked artery in the lungs, soup in the blood seems like a pretty good suspect…

Alexander Nikolayevich Scriabin, 1915

Alexander Scriabin was a pianist and composer with a rather eccentric streak.
The composer wrote "I am God" in a journal, experimented with tone and harmony in his compositions, and designed a special organ that created projections of colored light instead of music when played. His final work was to be the Mysterium, a grandiose piece which would last seven days and be played at the foothills of the Himalayas in India. Scriabin believed that bells hung from clouds would gather people to this location and that the Mysterium would usher in an armageddon, transforming the earth into a world of total bliss. Alas, the earth kept spinning as usual because of an ordinary razor blade. Scriabin died at age 43 after nicking himself while shaving and becoming infected with sepsis or blood poisoning.

"MAN KILLED WITH HIS OWN GUN"
(February 13, 2025)

A man was shot and killed after suspects stole his firearm at a gas station. Colion Noir used the incident to highlight the dangers of open carry and careless firearm handling.
Security footage showed three suspects targeting the victim before grabbing his pistol. The man pleaded for his gun back, but the suspects ignored him. Instead, they shot him—likely with his own firearm.
Noir warned gun owners that open carry comes with risks, especially in urban areas where criminals look to steal weapons. He emphasized that gas stations are hotspots for crime, where predators wait for moments of opportunity.

"This is why I stopped carrying at 3 o'clock," Noir explained, referring to the traditional hip-carry position. He pointed out that a lifted shirt can expose a firearm, making it an easy target. Instead, he prefers appendix carry, which allows better control and concealment.
Noir stressed that criminals do not fear guns—they seek them. "These kids aren't walking into a store to buy a gun legally. They're looking to steal them," he said. He urged concealed carriers to remain aware of their surroundings and ensure their firearms stay hidden.

He also issued a stark warning: If someone steals your gun, do not chase after them. "They're not going to give it back," he said.
The victim in this case tragically learned that lesson the hardest way possible.

Actor Vic Morrow & child decapitated during filming when helicopter falls on them.

In 1982, Morrow was cast in a feature role in Twilight Zone: The Movie in a segment directed by John Landis. Morrow was playing the role of Bill Connor, a racist who is taken back in time and placed in various situations where he would be a persecuted victim: as a Jewish man in Vichy France, a black man about to be lynched by the Ku Klux Klan and a Vietnamese man about to be killed by U.S. soldiers.

In the early morning hours of July 23, 1982, Morrow and two child actors, seven-year-old Myca Dinh Le and six-year-old Renee Shin-Yi Chen, were filming on location in California in an area that was known as Indian Dunes near Santa Clarita. They were performing a scene for the Vietnam sequence, in which their characters attempt to escape out of a deserted Vietnamese village from a pursuing U.S. Army helicopter.
The helicopter was hovering about 24 feet (7.3 m) above them when a fireball from special effect pyrotechnic explosions reportedly caused damage to the helicopter rotor and caused the tail rotors to separate from the aircraft causing the helicopter to plummet and crash on top of them, killing all three instantly. Morrow and Le were decapitated and mutilated by the helicopter rotor blades, while Chen was crushed by a helicopter skid.

Morrow's daughters sued several parties for negligence and wrongful death and were each awarded an out-of-court settlement of $850,000 by Warner Bros. Studios. Landis and four other defendants, including the helicopter pilot Dorcey Wingo, were charged with involuntary manslaughter but were ultimately acquitted after a ten-month trial. The parents of Le and Chen also sued and settled out of court for $2 million each.

Morrow's remains are interred in Hillside Memorial.
