Florida Woman Killed in Rare Alligator Attack | Calgary News

A Florida woman, 31, died after a vicious alligator attack while wading in the Econlockhatchee River near Orlando — the reptile clamped onto both her arms as her boyfriend desperately called 911. Authorities are still notifying her family, who live out of state, while the 911 recording captures her final, frantic pleas. Though alligator attacks are rare, experts point to drought and mating season as possible triggers for the animal’s aggression. Two massive alligators — 13 and 12 feet long — have been captured nearby, with DNA tests underway to identify the culprit. This tragic event is the third alligator-related incident in Central Florida in just one week — a chilling sign of a disturbing trend.
