WARNING: Confronting images and details.
The tiger shark responsible for mauling a Russian tourist to death has been killed.
Vladimir Popov, 23, was attacked in front of stunned tourists while he was swimming at one of Egypt's Red Sea resorts in the city of Hurghada on Thursday.
Distressing footage circulating on social media showed the man screaming for his father as he is pulled underwater by the 10 foot shark several times.
Popov could be heard crying out for "papa" as he tried to swim away.
The shark circled and attacked the Russian several times, with his legs lifting above the surface at one point while others tell him to swim to shore.
Witnesses claimed the tiger shark toyed with his body for two hours.
Locals later drove boats out to the sea and followed and then captured in a net what they believed was the animal that killed Popov.
The shark, which had one hook attached to its nostril, appeared to be alive as it was dumped onto the beach and surrounded by onlookers.

One man holding a metal pole could be seen in a social media clip repeatedly beating the shark over the head and trying to pry open its mouth.
Egypt's Environment Ministry confirmed the tiger shark had been caught and would be examined in a laboratory to investigate what may have triggered the rare attack.
Researchers will investigate whether it was responsible for other incidents.
Popov's father Yury told local Egyptian media the pair went to the beach to "relax".
"My son was attacked by a shark. It all happened in seconds," he said.
"This meat grinder... it is just some kind of evil fate."

Russian man mauled to death by tiger shark off Egypt's Red Sea coast in rare attack

A young Russian man was mauled to death by a shark off one of Egypt's Red Sea resorts, according to Egyptian and Russian authorities.
The man, named as Vladimir Popov by Russian media, died after being attacked by a tiger shark in the waters near the city of Hurghada, Egypt's environment ministry said.
Footage circulating online, purportedly of the attack, shows a man thrashing about in the water before being repeatedly attacked by a shark circling him and then dragged under.
The ministry later said the shark had been caught and was being examined in a laboratory to try to determine the reasons for the rare attack.
A 46-mile (74km) stretch of the coastline was closed off by authorities, who announced it would remain off-limits until Sunday.
The man's father, Yury Popov, was forced to watch the attack helplessly from the shore as the predator circled the 23-year-old and eventually dragged him under the water.
Speaking to the 112 media outlet following his son's death, Mr Popov said: "We went to the beach to relax. My son was attacked by a shark, it all happened in seconds."

He said no other family members were near his son at the time of the attack to help, but added: "What kind of help can you give? This meat grinder happened in 20 seconds, he was just dragged under the water."
Mr Popov described the attack as an "absolutely ridiculous coincidence" because the beach is known to be safe.
"There are ships and yachts around. It's never happened there. They usually attack on wild beaches. It's just some kind of evil fate," he said.
Other videos being shared online show the tiger shark being caught alive and dragged ashore by a boat following the attack, before being clubbed to death.
It is considered rare for shark attacks to take place in the coastal areas of the Red Sea.
However, there were two fatal incidents of shark attacks last year in Hurghada within a few days of each other, resulting in the deaths of Austrian and Romanian tourists.

Egypt's renowned beach destinations in the Red Sea, such as Hurghada and Sharm El-Sheikh, are frequently visited by European tourists. These destinations are particularly popular among divers who are drawn by the vibrant sea life visible in the steep drop-offs of coral reefs located just offshore.
In recent times, Egypt has been making concerted efforts to revive its tourism industry, which has suffered due to political instability, the COVID pandemic, and the conflict in Ukraine.
Tiger sharks are a notable species found in both tropical and temperate waters. They are known for being among the sharks that often attack humans without provocation, as per the records of the International Shark Attack File.

A tiger shark was clubbed to death in a savage revenge attack after the beast killed a tourist at a popular resort in the Red Sea.
Tourists watched in horror as Vladimir Popov, 23, was dragged under the water and mauled to death by the 10ft “meat grinder” shark in Egypt’s Hurghada.
Popov’s helpless dad Yury was watching from the shore as his son desperately screamed “papa, papa” while the predator hunted him.
Witnesses said the shark savaged Popov before toying with his body for a harrowing two hours in the water.
“It’s eating his remains now,” one witness can be heard saying in footage of the horrifying incident, the New York Post reported.
Footage then showed the beast being hauled out of the sea on a small boat in a net before being dumped on the beach and ferociously beaten.
The shark appeared to be alive as it writhed on the sand with a hook in its eye.
The video showed a man savagely smashing it over the head with what appeared to be a stick or a metal pole.
Egyptian authorities said they caught the shark that attacked the Russian man.
Researchers are now probing whether the shark was responsible to any previous incidents in the area.
Popov was on a long stay in Egypt - possibly avoiding the call up to Putin’s war in Ukraine.
His dad Yury told local media: “We went to the beach to relax. My son was attacked by a shark. It all happened in seconds.
“This meat grinder happened in 20 seconds... it is just some kind of evil fate.”
Initial reports suggested Popov was with his girlfriend at the time - but local media reports said she’s currently in Russia.
It’s understood a woman who was also in the water managed to escape.
The Russian Foreign Ministry confirmed the death of a citizen from a shark attack.
When the incident happened, voices in the sea pleaded: “Swim away, swim away! Quick! A shark!”
One eyewitness said: “It was about seven metres from the shore.”
Another said: “The shark appeared, and immediately bit the man.
“He tried to swim away from the shark, but he couldn’t.
“It dragged the body for two hours. It constantly dragged him under the water.”
Russian tourists have been told to be vigilant in the popular resort and follow the instructions of hotel staff.
It comes after a 37-year-old tourist was ambushed by a shark at a Red Sea resort in Aqaba, Jordan, in June 2021.
The man was parasailing when he suddenly began to graze the ocean.
A shark then leapt from the water and chomped his leg - and the tourist miraculously managed to not get dragged beneath the water.
He was left brutally bitten and sustained serious injuries from the attack.
And in July last year, a tourist was mauled to death by a shark in Sahl Hasheesh, Egypt.

“The victim was not a tourist, but a permanent resident of Egypt,” Voropayev told the news agency.
A diver who arrived on the scene just after the attack said people had rushed to help the victim after a lifeguard from a nearby hotel raised the alarm, but were not able to reach him in time.

In 2010, a spate of five attacks in five days unusually close to the shore of tourist hot spot Sharm el-Sheikh killed one German and injured four other foreign tourists.

A shark that attacked a Russian tourist is set to be mummified and displayed in an Egyptian museum.
Vladimir Popov, 23, was eaten alive by a shark off a beach at an Egyptian resort in Hurghada in June. The attack was filmed from the shore by horrified onlookers as the 23-year-old screamed: “Papa, save me!”
Some of Mr Popov’s body parts were recovered inside the shark’s stomach, while the rest were recovered by fishermen from the sea.
Specialists at the Institute of Marine Sciences and the Red Sea Reserves have now begun the embalming process in preparation for the shark being placed in the institute’s museum, according to local media reports.
Egyptian authorities said the shark was handed over to researchers to find out the causes of its behaviour and identify whether the animal is related to one that “caused several previous accidents”.
Following the attack on Mr Popov, who had been living in Egypt with his father for several months amid the war in Ukraine, the shark was caught and dragged to land by boat, before being clubbed to death on the beach “in revenge”.
Mr Popov’s father, Yury, told the 112 media outlet of his horror at his son being mauled to death by a shark.
“We went to the beach to relax,” he said. Mr Popov, who is originally from Russia , said the attack “happened in seconds”.
“This meat grinder happened in 20 seconds, he was just dragged under the water.
“This is an absolutely ridiculous coincidence, because it is a safe beach. There are ships and yachts around. It’s never happened there. They usually attack on wild beaches. It’s just some kind of evil fate.”
Mr Popov said he would cremate his son and return his ashes to Russia.
Describing the attack, a witness said: “At one point, the shark appeared, and immediately bit this man. Rescuers saw this and began to start the boat. He tried to swim away from the shark, but he couldn’t.
“And the shark dragged the body for two hours. It constantly dragged him under the water.”
Another woman is believed to have been pulled out of the water after being close to where Mr Popov was killed. It is not known if she was a relative of the 23-year-old.
Witnesses said the victim’s girlfriend had been in the water at the time of the attack. Russian reports say she is safe and has returned to Russia.
The Russian Foreign Ministry confirmed the death of a citizen from a shark attack, the Daily Mail reported.

A Russian beachgoer was killed in a shark attack in Egypt while hanging out near a Red Sea resort town
- A shark attack in Egypt claimed the life of a young Russian man at a Red Sea resort.
- The man, born in 1999, had just moved to the region with his father, per independent Russian media.
- A video appearing to show the horrific attack has been circulating on Russian social media.
A Russian man was killed by a shark at a resort town in Egypt on Thursday.
The man, identified as Popov V., died during a stay at the beach resort town of Hurghada, which lies on the coast of the Red Sea, the local Russian consulate said, per state media agency TASS. He was born in 1999, per the consulate.
Popov was attacked by the shark while at Dream Beach , according to Consul General Viktor Vorpaev.
The beach is popular with tourists, but Vorpaev said Popov was not a tourist and was living in Egypt permanently, TASS reported.
The shark in question was a tiger shark, the Egyptian environment ministry said on Thursday. The ministry banned water activities in the area for the next two days and said the same shark had attacked people before.
Following the attack, the consulate warned Russians in the area to "remain vigilant when in the water" and to follow swimming restrictions and instructions from Egyptian authorities.
Related stories
The independent Russian outlet Baza reported that Popov had moved with his father to Hurghada and bought an apartment in the town a few months ago.
A neighbor of Popov's told the outlet that the victim was with his father at the shore, and that he was heard calling for his "dad" as the attack unfolded.
A video, which was circulated this week on Russian Telegram channels, appears to show several moments of the attack. In the chilling footage, a man in the water can be heard screaming as a shark circles around him before pulling him under and thrashing near the surface.
"Oh my god," an onlooker shouts repeatedly off-camera.
A witness told Russian television network Ren.TV that rescuers tried to swim to Popov, but that he disappeared before they reached him.
Popov's death received widespread Russian media coverage this week, in light of two other deadly shark attacks in Hurghada last year. In July 2022, a Romanian woman and an Austrian woman were killed within days of each other near the resort town.
Shark are commonly found in the Red Sea, but rarely attack people who swim within approved areas. Two other deadly shark attacks at Red Sea beaches have occurred in 2015 and 2018, per Agence France-Presse.

Egypt mummifies shark that ate russian man to display in museum.
WARNING: Graphic Content
Museum specialists in Egypt are mummifying the shark that savagely ate a Russian man swimming at a popular resort beach so that the monstrous predator can be put on display.
Specialists at the Institute of Marine Sciences and the Red Sea Reserves began the embalming process of the animal on Monday, local outlet Al Arabiya reported.
Once the process is completed, the mummified shark will be on display in the institute’s museum.
Body parts belonging to the man who was ravaged, Vladimir Popov, were discovered inside the animal, confirming to authorities they had captured the shark that was involved in Thursday’s attack near the Elysees Dream Beach Hotel at the popular beach resort, Hurghada.
Horrifying video footage of the attack shows Popov, 23, splashing frantically in the ocean before getting dragged underwater as fearful onlookers cry out for help.
Museum specialists extracted half of the Russian man’s body from inside the shark, including his head, chest, and arms. Soon after the accident, fishermen found the other half of his remains out at sea.
The shark nearly consumed all of Popov’s body, but discarded the second half after noticing a fishermen’s boat attempting to come to the scene and help the man.
After pulling the lower half of Popov’s body out of the water, the fisherman chased the shark and caught it in order to have specialists in Hurghada analyze and dissect it.
Officials are hoping that by analyzing the shark they might be able to come up with a plan to prevent other ones from attacking beach-goers.
According to Al Arabiya, Governor of the Red Sea Major General Amr Hanafi is looking into installing nets at some beaches, hotels, and tourist villages in order to prevent sharks from reaching swimmers.
Initial reports claimed that Popov was a Russian tourist, however, Russia’s consul general in Hurghada confirmed Popov had been living in Egypt for several months.
Popov’s girlfriend reportedly managed to escape the water unscathed as bystanders unsuccessfully tried to save him.
The slain man’s father said the pair had “gone to the beach to relax” when all of a sudden, his son “was attacked by a shark.”
The attack left beachgoers stunned, with many waiting to bludgeon the shark to death after a fisherman dragged it ashore.
Video of the scene shows the group horrifically beating the animal, and it concludes with the cameraman even posing for a selfie as the savage scene unfolds in the background.
It’s unclear if the shark that ate Popov was involved in any other reported incidents in the area.
Though shark attacks are rare in the Red Sea coastal regions, last year, sharks killed two women — an Austrian and a Romanian — just days apart in the same popular tourist location.
