In Loving Memory of Livia Muhlheim

Honoring a Life Tragically Lost in a Rare Incident

With a heavy heart, we share this message. It is with profound sorrow that we announce the death of Livia Muhlheim, age 25, who tragically passed away following a rare shark incident off Kylie’s Beach at Crowdy Bay, New South Wales, Australia, on 27 November 2025. Livia was accompanied by her partner, Lukas Schindler, age 26, who sustained serious injuries but survived thanks to the heroic efforts of bystanders and emergency responders.

Livia’s passing is a devastating loss to her family, friends, and community. At just 25 years old, she was a vibrant young woman full of promise, love, and adventure. Her life was not defined by the circumstances of her death, but by the joy, compassion, and curiosity she carried with her. She and Lukas were believed to be filming dolphins when the tragic event unfolded. In the face of danger, Lukas fought valiantly to bring her back to shore, a testament to the deep bond they shared. Though her death came suddenly and tragically, Livia’s legacy endures in the memories of those who loved her.

Livia will be remembered for her adventurous spirit, her kindness, and her ability to inspire those around her. She embraced life with courage and curiosity, leaving behind a story that will continue to touch hearts. Her absence leaves a void that cannot be filled, but her spirit will live on in the hearts of her family, friends, and all who knew her. Authorities have confirmed that the incident was caused by a suspected bull shark, an unusual occurrence that has shaken the community. Yet even in tragedy, the compassion shown by bystanders and emergency services reflects the humanity that Livia herself embodied.

We extend our deepest condolences to Livia’s family, Lukas, and their loved ones during this difficult time. May they find strength in cherished memories and comfort in the support of their community.

Rest in peace, Livia Muhlheim. Your life was a blessing, your spirit unforgettable, and your memory eternal.
