The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FFWCC) said an 8' 10'' alligator and a 7' 7" alligator seen near the pond were removed as part of the investigation, though it remains unclear if they are the same animals involved in the attack. There are currently no plans to remove any more from the area despite several attacks across the state in recent weeks and months.
It was only in June that another man was attacked in Florida, barely surviving after having chunks taken ripped out of his leg after mistaking the reptile for a dog and back in April that the same police department shared a video of a stray gator casually wandering around a local neighbourhood. From 1948 to 2021, Florida has reported a total of 442 unprovoked bite incidents from alligators, 26 of which resulted in fatalities, according to the FFWCC. The creature is highly populous to Florida's sub-tropical climate and although the region has historically averaged around three serious bites a year but in the last 10 years, the state that number has risen to around eight unprovoked bites that require medical treatment per year. This incident is the third death in the US this year already, with at least five other attacks resulting in injury. The conservation agency said they will be working jointly with the Sarasota County Medical Examiner's Office as part of the investigation to determine the exact cause of death.
