Swimming was halted for hours after emergency responders treated a woman with a lower-leg injury officials said was consistent with a marine animal bite.

Volusia County Beach Safety said the man declined further treatment after being checked on the sand.

Lifeguards say the shark was likely a shortfin mako and the beach was not closed.

An autopsy says a powerful shark bite caused fatal injuries to a 55-year-old swimmer near Lovers Point.

A new autopsy report details the fatal December attack that led to the death of an experienced open-water swimmer.
