One person died after an estimated 11-foot alligator pulled them into a retention pond Friday at the Myrtle Beach Golf and Yacht Club near Burgess, officials said.
Horry County Police spokeswoman Mikayla Moskov confirmed that HCPD's Environmental Services and Criminal Investigations divisions are investigating the death.
Moskov said Horry County Fire Rescue responded around 11:45 a.m. to the area of Excalaber Court, and "upon arrival, units determined that an alligator had taken hold of a neighbor and retreated into a nearby retention pond."
The victim was recovered from the pond, Moskov said. She added that a South Carolina Department of Natural Resources biologist and SCDNR-contracted alligator removal service determined that the 11-foot alligator should be euthanized.

Also, the gator carried them into the retention pond. Did one of the unfortunate victims escape?
Very sad story.
Did he taste like chicken?
Lot of meat on an 11 foot gator.
Time to get smart....Kill the damn sobs and make alligator shoes and handbags again. Stop all this protective cr**...it’s deadly and unnecessary.
I'm getting sick of this gender nonsense
That’s about 200 lbs of prime gator tail @ $3/lbs.
Add the 11 ft. hide, purses, boots and belts, another thousand dollars.
August is coming up, man your airboats.

Every time I am with someone of the liberal persuasion and a bear story comes up, they always blame the human for the bear attack. As reliable as clockwork. I imagine there is some of this thought process going on here.
Maybe the person was transgender and it was a woke media outlet.
Why didn’t he just whack it on the snout with an iron skillet? I saw it done, on the internet, so it must work!
Yeah. “Phone it in” reporting.
>>>>Also, the gator carried them into the retention pond. Did one of the unfortunate victims escape?<<<<
Truly a tragic story. It appears only one person was involved, sex unknown, and the reporter used “they” instead of “he or she” — sloppy and grammatically incorrect, but so common now.

Nice photo of a drop box, too! When will voters figure out mail-in voting is open to fraud and error and demand it stop?
Myrtle Beach? Dang, that’s a long way north for a big gator.
That said, some years ago (~20) I saw a manatee in the Charleston area. Still.
NOT a pleasant way to go. It gives me the chills thinking about it.
An 11 foot gator is getting pretty big.

I’ve heard of a water hazard, but this is a bit much.
I wonder if the victim was trying to pet it or feed it?
Oh, come on! You know someone was going to say it sooner or later.
Voters in Europe realize drop boxes encourage fraud.
