WASHINGTON, Aug. 24 (Xinhua) -- A dead great white shark with a red hue on its face and underbelly has been washed ashore in northeastern U.S. state Massachusetts, local reports said Friday.

The 9-foot (about 2.74 meters) shark, a juvenile male, was found dead on the beach in Truro on Thursday, authorities said.

A necropsy found there were three lead weights inside the stomach of the shark, the Atlantic White Shark Conservancy wrote in a Facebook post.

"Scientists from the Massachusetts Division of Marine Fisheries and National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) were notified and Dr. Lisa Natanson of NOAA came out to perform a necropsy and take samples. While examining the stomach she found 3 lead weights inside." the conservancy said.

Great white sharks have been prevalent in the Truro area recently, according to a Fox News report.

A New York man was bitten by what authorities believed to be a great white shark earlier this month. He received puncture wounds to the torso and a leg, said the report.
