UKIAH, California (AP) -- The Coast Guard has recovered the headless body of a diver who was killed by a shark off the Mendocino County coast.

Randy Fry, 50, was attacked Sunday afternoon in shallow water near Westport while diving for abalone with a companion.

Fry's body was recovered Monday; the companion escaped injury.

A friend of Fry's estimated the shark was between 16 to 18 feet long. "It was over in five seconds," said Red Bartley, who witnessed the fatal encounter from a boat.

It was the state's first shark fatality since August a year ago.
