Naked man scares shark to death
Friday, June 13, 2003 Posted: 1:17 PM EDT (1717 GMT)

LONDON, England (Reuters) -- A British comedian could face criminal charges over the death of a "sensitive" shark after he jumped into a tank at an aquarium in the nude, the Daily Telegraph newspaper reported on Friday.

The 12-year old smooth hound shark -- which measured three feet (0.91 meters) -- died suddenly two days after Guy Venables jumped into its tank as a publicity stunt at the Brighton Sea Life Centre, southern England.

"This variety of shark is susceptible to stress. We are very concerned he died as a result of seeing Mr Venables jumping into the tank," Sea Life Centre's Lisa Handscomb told the newspaper.

"The shark is being examined by our biological services team and if it is found that he died from stress, we will prosecute Mr Venables for criminal damage."

Give me a break.

True, it is only a shark, but I'm sure it's worth a lot to the Sea Life Centre and he was an idiot to do it in the first place. It is his fault.

I would hope not... but I'm not sure how the British legal system works.

What if he had jumped in fully clothed?

Would the prosecution act any differently? :lol:
