    Children splash and play in a picturesque Cornwall bay completely oblivious to a “foul brown liquid with bits in it” pumping into the water through a running drain.

    In shock footage, swimmers at Swanpool Beach, hailed for its โ€œclear turquoise bayโ€ near the outskirts of Falmouth, continue to swim in the water.

    Described as the โ€œperfect swimming spotโ€ by Visit Cornwall brown liquid pours out of a rusty culvert marring the usually turquoise bay.

    The swimmer who went missing after being attacked by a shark near Californiaโ€™s Bay Area has been identified as a tech entrepreneur and elite kite surfer who hoped to represent Gambia in the Olympics, according to reports.

    Felix Louis Nโ€™Jai, 52, apparently was attacked by the predator as he swam near Wildcat Beach at the southern end of Point Reyes National Park on Sunday morning, the San Francisco Chronicle reported.

    He had been camping at the remote site to celebrate a friendโ€™s wedding when he went in the water with two friends, including the groom, and apparently was dragged under by the shark.

    Officials have not identified him, but friends and the sailing magazine Latitude 38 have named him as Nโ€™Jai, a businessman whose LinkedIn page lists him as CEO of tech startup Eniac Labs.

    On Monday, a group of kite surfers who gathered at Chrissy Field to mourn Nโ€™Jai said the groom described his horrifying final moments.

    โ€œWe all got in a circle and we listen to the story. And there wasnโ€™t a dry eye in the group,โ€ friend Jim Kennan told NBC Bay Area.
