Witnesses reported seeing shark breach water with what appeared to be human body in its mouth near Pacific Grove

The unidentified 55-year-old swimmer was reported missing off Lovers Point in Pacific Grove at around noon, the U.S. Coast Guard said in a joint statement Sunday with the cities of Pacific Grove and Monterey.
Two witnesses told authorities that the woman may have come into contact with a shark. The Pacific Grove Police Department told CBS News that the incident was being treated as a possible shark attack.
"We had a swim club that does a weekly swim out here off Lovers Point," Brian Anderson, a commander with the Pacific Grove Police Department, told CBS San Francisco. "They immediately called all the swimmers in and there was one swimmer who hasn't reported back yet."

Does the swim club not have a list of participants from which the identify the missing individual?

Most probably. But probably want to make sure family is notified first.

I always say that people forget the golden rule: When a human enters the ocean we are no longer at the top of the Food Chain.

Plus they know she was 55, so they know who she is. Family first it is, sad.

This is a delicate way to put it. Doesn’t really capture what happened. Probably a Great White. Swimming in a wetsuit in those waters is just asking for it.

Obviously the shark had no love in his heart

I cannot imagine the sheer terror when the victim first feels the force of the shark and immediately knows what's happening.

As with many white people hobbies, this death was 100% avoidable. Swimming across the open ocean sounds like hell to me.

People will blame the shark. It's just doing shark things. Can't be mad at it.

Lol at people swimming in the ocean in the west coast, the water is always cold.

Yes this was an eye opener for me. I had no idea that the water coming down from Canada makes that entire stretch of the Pacific cold when I first went to San Diego. Even in the summer it rarely cracks 70 degrees there.

Too bad Gavin Newsom wasn’t swimming right alongside the victim
