A teenage boy killed in a shark attack while surfing in South Australia has been described as a “standout” talent and “a beautiful soul” who “lit up any room he was in”.

Khai Cowley (15) was attacked by a suspected great white shark on Thursday while surfing with his father off remote Ethel Beach on the Yorke Peninsula, west of his home town of Adelaide.
