Couple who died in CBD tragedy identified
A Sydney couple who died in a suspected double suicide in the CBD on Saturday morning have been identified. Angela Nesbitt and Steven Dash were found by emergency services on Harbour St in Sydney under the Western Distributor overpass about 9.45am. The married couple believed to be in their 40s had both died before emergency services arrived. The Daily Telegraph reported their deaths are now being investigated by police after they were alerted to the couple's erratic behaviour about an hour earlier. The pair had been at Sydney's Star Casino when they were asked to leave by security about 8.55am, the newspaper reported. A comment was allegedly made about self harming to security, so they contacted police who were trying to locate the pair when the tragedy unfolded. Key national 24/7 crisis support services include: • Lifeline 13 11 14; • beyondblue 1300 224 636; Key national youth support services include: • Kids Helpline 1800 55 1800; • headspace 1800 650 890 NSW Police said in a statement on Saturday they were not treating the incident as suspicious.

He then left the water with his board two pieces and the equipment missing a large chunk of foam. The 5-meter shark has since been caught and released, according to the outlet. In footage, Ross appeared unharmed as he held up his surfboard in two piecess, per ABC and 'Lifeguards on the Far North Coast closed Cabarita Beach on the NSW Far North Coast today after a surfer's board was bitten on Monday morning, 18 August," a spokesperson from Surf Live Saving NSW told PEOPLE. They added, 'It comes less than two months after a boy was bitten by a shark at the same location.' 'Just after 8am this morning (Monday 18 August) the Surf Life Saving NSW State Operations Centre (SOC) was alerted to an incident at the unpatrolled Cabarita Beach which was called in through Triple 0,' a statement from the organization read. They continued, 'It's believed a surfer's board was bitten by a shark. The surfer is unharmed.' 'Australian Lifeguard Service lifeguards were tasked and immediately worked with Council to close the beach and put up signage to warn the public not to enter the water,' the statement added. 'SLSNSW UAV assets were used for the rest of the day to observe the beach as a safety precaution.' The incident was also attended to by NSW Police and the NSW Department of Primary Industries and Regional Development (DPIRD), according to ABC.

PEOPLE has contacted NSW Primary Industries and Regional Development for comment. Surf Lifesaving Far North Coast's Dave Rope spoke about how Ross was lucky to have escaped the attack. "Very, very lucky, I'd be going out and buying a lottery ticket today, I think, if I was them," Rope told ABC. "I would just say that it is a miracle that no one was injured physically from it." "It's quite a savage bite and large, it's split in two. There's no doubt that is probably from the force of the bite," he added. Local yoga teacher Kym Falvey also opened up about the incident after watching the event unfold. "The man was sitting on his board and the shark literally bit the board behind his butt," Falvey told ABC. "The board just popped, like it exploded, and it flew up in the air and by this time there was a man up on the rocks going, 'Oi, come in,' she added. She concluded, "The last time the shark came right into the shallows, so the surfers in the water were saying, 'We didn't want to stop paddling until we got onto the dry sand.'
