Jon Mozo was a world renowned surf photographer based in Hawaii. According to the Los Angeles Times<\/a>, he survived a near fatal shark attack when he was just 22 years old, recalling: “I didn\u2019t even have a clue there was even a shark in the water. He shut [his mouth] right after that, and he was just shaking back and forth, and I saw him open his mouth again.<\/p>\n “I don\u2019t know what happened next because I turned around and I freaked out and paddled away as fast as I could. I never looked back.\u201d Mozo suffered from deep cuts and was briefly hospitalised for his injuries.<\/p>\n Jon Mozo tragically died on February 9th, 2005 in a freak accident on the North Shore in Hawaii after taking surf photos whilst in the water.\u00a0 An off-duty lifeguard found him underwater and had severe head injuries from hitting the reef with no pulse. He was sadly pronounced dead at\u00a0Kahuku Hospital at age 33.<\/p>\n 13 years later after his death and Let’s Marry Harry’s Amber Mozo swam out to where her dad had died, telling The Inertia<\/a>: “If it was worth dying for to capture that subject, it must be beautiful. It must mean everything to you. I know that the last few seconds of his life, he must have been really happy. And knowing that he died a happy man makes me happy.\u201d<\/p>\n His wife later posted about finding a note in Jon’s shed one year after he passed, where he’d written: “f I die today \u2013 it’s fine. I’ve lived a good and full life. The Ocean gives so much to me \u2013 The day will come it will need to take \u2013 and I’ll give. I have love for all of you \u2013 very much so. I’ll always be watching over.”<\/p>\n For all the latest reality TV cast member news, scandals, gossip and updates \u2013 like\u00a0<\/i>Reality Shrine<\/a><\/i>\u00a0on\u00a0<\/i>Facebook<\/a><\/i>.<\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" ‘I know that the last few seconds of his life, he must have been really happy’<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":249734183,"featured_media":60247,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1358],"tags":[2258,1438],"class_list":["post-60243","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news","tag-lets-marry-harry","tag-netflix"],"acf":[],"parsely":{"version":"1.1.0","canonical_url":"https:\/\/realitytvshrine.com\/realityshrine\/2026\/08\/05\/lets-marry-harrys-amber-mozos-dad-died-in-a-freak-accident-when-she-was-just-nine\/","smart_links":{"inbound":0,"outbound":0},"traffic_boost_suggestions_count":0,"meta":{"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","headline":"Let’s Marry Harry’s Amber Mozo’s dad died in a freak accident when she was just nine","url":"http:\/\/thetab.com\/realityshrine\/2026\/08\/05\/lets-marry-harrys-amber-mozos-dad-died-in-a-freak-accident-when-she-was-just-nine\/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"http:\/\/thetab.com\/realityshrine\/2026\/08\/05\/lets-marry-harrys-amber-mozos-dad-died-in-a-freak-accident-when-she-was-just-nine\/"},"thumbnailUrl":"https:\/\/cdn.realitytvshrine.com\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Ellie-New-Featured-Images-2026-08-05T144714.175-150x150.png","image":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https:\/\/cdn.realitytvshrine.com\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Ellie-New-Featured-Images-2026-08-05T144714.175.png"},"articleSection":"News","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Ellie Ring"}],"creator":["Ellie Ring"],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Reality Shrine","logo":"https:\/\/realitytvshrine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/cropped-mX3_1x3z.png"},"keywords":["let's marry harry","netflix"],"dateCreated":"2026-08-05T16:00:24Z","datePublished":"2026-08-05T16:00:24Z","dateModified":"2026-08-05T16:00:24Z"},"rendered":"How did Jon Mozo die?<\/h2>\n
