Exactly my thought when I heard the outcome. As all, I am not connected to this family in any way. But the very thought that this little guy may have been ripped apart by an alligator, leaving nothing, was just unspeakable in even a strangers mind, let alone the parents. As horrific as it is, the thought that this primal creature simply drowned him and left is, I guess, better. I pray it was so quick that he didn’t know what was happening.

Having gone to high school and college in Florida, I recall learning that gators don't immediately eat their catch. Gators drag it under the water to drown, and then they leave it for a day in two to decompose before eating it. That's probably why they found the body intact.
