Fatal Alligator Attack in Florida | Winston–Salem News

A Florida woman died after a brutal alligator attack while swimming in the Econlockhatchee River — her boyfriend heroically pulled her free, but she lost an arm and later succumbed to injuries en route to the hospital. Officials have shut down the trailhead amid rising alarm: this is the third alligator attack in Florida in just seven days, and the second in Central Florida within 24 hours. Two massive alligators — 13 and 12 feet long — were captured for DNA testing to identify the culprit. Despite warning signs and ongoing nuisance alligator control efforts, the incident highlights the deadly risks lurking in Florida’s waters.
