Fort Pierce woman, 85, ‘killed by 10-foot alligator’ after she’s dragged into water while walking her dog
Fort Pierce, Fl (treasurecoast.com) – An 85-year-old woman was killed Monday by a 10-foot alligator while she was walking her dog at a Spanish Lakes Fairways a retirement community in Fort Pierce.
Investigators responded to a report about an alligator bite.
The alligator initially grabbed the woman’s dog, then attacked her after she tried to save her pet. The dog survived the attack but no details were revealed about the severity of its injuries.
According to a source a neighbor tried to throw her a rope and she said “It’s too late, he’s got me”.
Officials recovered the woman’s body and the alligator was captured by a nuisance alligator trapper, according to the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission.
A friend made the point that the water looked awful and there was probably no gater food in it and the banks look sprayed. Because of all these poisons there are no other critters to eat. If we are going to have these bodies of water we have to make sure they are healthy.
Things we don’t know: Name of this poor woman who died a hero for saving her dog. Where is the dog now?
