  abstract = {{T}o understand the causes and patterns of shark attacks on humans, accurate identification of the shark species involved is necessary. {O}ften, the only reliable evidence for this comes from the characteristics of the wounds exhibited by the victim. {T}he present case report is intended as a reappraisal of the {L}uengoni, 2007 case ({I}nternational {S}hark {A}ttack {F}ile no. 4299) where a single shark bite provoked the death of a swimmer by haemorrhagic shock. {O}ur examination of the wounds on the body of the victim, here documented by so-far unpublished photographic evidence, determined that the shark possessed large and homodontous jaws. {T}his demonstrates that the attacker was a tiger shark, not a great white shark as previously published.},
