She was seen falling into the water on Friday evening and “struggled to stay afloat”
An elderly woman has been killed by two alligators after falling in a pond near her home in Florida. The woman, who has not been named, is believed to have been grabbed by two alligators before she was able to climb out of the pond located at the Boca Royale Golf and Country Club in Englewood.
The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission have captured and removed the two alligators from the pond, with officials confirming that one stood at eight and 10 inches and the second was seven foot and seven inches in length. “The likelihood of a Florida resident being seriously injured during an unprovoked alligator incident in Florida is roughly only one in 3.1 million.” Although alligator fatalities are rare in the United States, on average to be one per year across the country, the latest incident becomes the third death to occur over the last three months.
Sean Thomas McGuiness, 47, was identified as the victim in May after his body was found with three limbs missing in Largo, Florida. McGuiness is believed to have been attacked when he went to retrieve frisbees from a lake at John S. Taylor Park in the evening in order to resell.
