What were you doing in London?<br /><br /> Naked Man Scares Shark to Death?<br />Fri Jun 13,11:09 AM ET<br />Add Oddly Enough - Reuters to My Yahoo!<br /><br />LONDON (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 Friday.<br /><br />The 12-year old smooth hound shark, which measured three feet, died suddenly two days after Guy Venables (SBN's British stage name?) jumped into its tank as a publicity stunt at the Brighton Sea Life Center, southern England.<br /><br />"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 Center's Lisa Handscomb told the newspaper.<br /><br />"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."
