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.

It was on an Alligator Adventure. If you’ve been to Barefoot Landing, you’d know.

No one likes slow players.

“Them”? Was there more than one?
Was he/she a democrat?
Why do nice places always have to have 1 creature that can kill you. I didn’t know gators has made their way up to myrtle yet?
Life in a swamp...
Why didn’t they just kill the gator? Why did it have to be euthanized?

Kill the gator? Why?
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.

Nonsense. By your demented standard every predator on the planet should be made extinct. If that were the policy perhaps we should start with the species which is BY FAR the most dangerous predator on the planet, and you’re one of them!
Yep.
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.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Well I’m the polar opposite of someone of the liberal persuasion, and my view is that predators generally do exactly what they’re programmed by nature to do. On the other hand, humans, with very few exceptions, have been endowed with the power of reason, and reason dictates that when one decides to venture into an area where predators are likely to be found, they are putting their life at risk. That’s attributable to stupidity and not to the predator!
When will voters figure out mail-in voting is open to fraud and error and demand it stop?

Voters can “demand” all they want but such demands are absolutely meaningless as long as criminals are elected and reelected year after year. Voter apathy and stupidity are what enables the criminals to trash the voting process.

I wonder if the victim was trying to pet it or feed it?

Probably taking a leak in the pond and that pissed off the gator.
