🐊 NEW REPORT — A H0RRIFYING DETAIL ABOUT THE ALLIGAT0R THAT KIL-LED A FLORIDA WOMAN HAS JUST BEEN REVEALED… AND WHAT AUTH0RITIES HAVE NOW CONFIRMED IS LEAVING MANY SH0CKED
GENEVA, Fla. — The alligator that killed a 31-year-old Orlando woman last weekend performed a “death roll” while holding onto her arm in the attack, according to a new report.
A preliminary report from the Orange County Medical Examiner’s Office reveals new details about the deadly June 28 attack at Little Big Econ State Forest in Central Florida.
Brittany Clark was hiking with her boyfriend and best friend when the group decided to go for a swim in the Econlockhatchee River.
They were in shoulder-deep water when an alligator grabbed Clark’s arm and began the “death roll,” the spinning maneuver that alligators use to subdue and dismember their prey, according to the new report.
The medical examiner says Clark’s boyfriend then grabbed the alligator and tried to get it to release her when it took them both underwater. The alligator briefly let go of Clark before grabbing her other arm.
Clark’s left arm was partially severed at the shoulder, while her right arm had an open fracture, the report says.
After the alligator let go, Clark’s boyfriend brought her to shore and performed CPR until first responders arrived. The report says her pulse was “thready” before she coded. She was pronounced dead when she arrived at the hospital at 2:48 p.m.
Alligator responsible for deadly attack identified using bite marks
Following the attack, the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission worked with the Seminole County Sheriff’s Office and the Florida Forest Service to capture and kill two large alligators in the area: a 13-foot alligator and a 12.5-foot alligator.
DNA analysts confirmed that the 12.5-foot gator was the one involved in the attack, according to the report.
“A row of teeth on the gator head is consistent with teeth marks on the left arm,” the medical examiner wrote.
‘Every body of water could potentially have an alligator’
During a news conference last week, the FWC said there’s no evidence that Clark, her boyfriend or friend did anything to provoke the attack. FWC Lieutenant Grant Eller said the gator was likely being territorial as June marks the end of the mating season.
“In the state of Florida, obviously, we have alligators in all 67 counties. Every body of water could potentially have an alligator in it,” FWC Public Information Officer Chad Weber added.
