- Simon Nellist, 35, a diving instructor, was killed by a great white shark off Sydney in 2022.
- A report has classified Nellist's death as a "provoked incident."
- The frenzied shark might have been drawn to him because of fishermen's bait in the water.
The British man that was killed by a great white shark off the coast of Australia last year died in a "provoked incident," researchers have said.
Simon Nellist, a 35-year-old scuba diving instructor, had been swimming at Buchan Point, near Little Bay, southeast of Sydney, when the 15-foot-long shark attacked him from below, according to The Times of London.
