A huge crowd, including children, soon gathered and could be seen digging into the sand in an attempt to help the 10 to 12 foot-long shark, which had red coloring on its belly

The WellFleet Police Department said it got a call about the shark at 8.10am - and officers contacted the Atlantic Great White Conservancy group.
Members from the group helped bring the shark back into the water, MassLive.com reported.
But it wasn't enough to save the great white, which died later in the morning, according to CBS Boston.
Police said the shark already appeared sick or injured when it was discovered.
