BBC Online reports:

“”An eight-year-old boy whose right arm was bitten off by a shark in Florida is still in a critical condition and showing signs of brain damage, doctors say.
The boy’s arm was retrieved from the predator’s throat and reattached by surgeons following the attack on Friday.

But doctors at the Baptist Hospital in Pensacola, Florida, say the boy – Jessie Arbogast – suffered damage to his brain, heart, lungs, kidneys, liver and other organs due to extreme blood loss.”"
