According to the sheriff's office, the man's wife told deputies that she was inside her home when she heard commotion.

When she stepped outside, she saw a large alligator attacking her husband, officials said.

The woman ran to help her husband. Once the attack was over, she pulled him out of the water and ran inside to get first aid supplies.

When she realized the severity of his injuries, she got into her boat and went to higher ground, approximately a mile away.

The sheriff's office said that when she returned home, her husband was no longer lying on the steps.

😱

How awful.

I guess there was no way for her to pull hubby into the boat.

What a living nightmare that she’ll face, the rest of her days.

Prayers for this family.

Sounds a little fishy to me. What better way to get rid of a body?

Sheriff might want to lock down her story on this one.

I watched a horror movie whose whole plot was a hurricane that flooded a town and then everybody was being attacked by Alligators.

Ya think.

Toss a couple of pieces of chicken in the water. Wait for some 10’ gator to come swimming by and push the guy in the water. Buh-Bye.

OMG, I don’t know how it happened.

Sure you don’t.

If she’s smart, she’s done telling it. They want to talk to her again, lawyer up.

A little opportunistic predation. A looting alligator.

I yave my suspcions about this, and without making any accusations, I would be interested to know what time the attack occurred and what the temperature was. Alligators lose their appetite when the temperature drops down to 80 degrees and they stop feeding completely when it drops down to 73 degrees.

Shoot, if Ida doesn’t get you, the gator will. “Up to your ears in alligators.” Guess if you live there, you’ve gotta be ready for anything.

Black Water is a decent Aussie croc movie.
I think it’s actually based on a true story.
