An expert has determined that a surfer was killed off California's Central Coast by a 15- to 16-foot (4.8-meter) great white shark. Ralph Collier of the Shark Research Committee examined the body of 39-year-old Francisco Javier Solorio Jr. of Orcutt before making the determination Wednesday. The surfer was bitten in the upper torso in the waters off Surf Beach in Santa Barbara County on Tuesday.
