Pirates of the Caribbean Actor Dies in Hawaii Shark Attack

June 24, 2024

Tamayo Perry, known for his role in Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides, tragically passed away after a shark attack while surfing in Hawaii.

The 49-year-old actor and lifeguard was attacked on Sunday afternoon at Malaekahana Beach, as confirmed by Honolulu’s emergency services in a press conference. Despite efforts by emergency responders, Perry was pronounced dead after being brought ashore by jet ski.

Acting Honolulu Ocean Safety chief Kurt Lager said Perry was “a lifeguard loved by all”, adding that he was well known on Oahu’s north shore as well as around the world.

Tamayo’s personality was infectious, and as much as people loved him, he loved everyone else more.

He added: “Our condolences go out to Tamayo’s family.”

Mayor Rick Blangiardi echoed Lager’s sentiments, calling Perry’s death “a tragic loss”.

Addressing the press conference, he said: “Tamayo was a legendary waterman and highly respected, [he] grew up right over here, and just a great member of our ocean safety team.”

He said getting a call like that on a Sunday afternoon was “hard to imagine”, and called on Perry’s family to be given privacy to grieve.
