Woman killed by alligator while doing homeowner's nails

[Bon mots]

I have to question the professionalism of these so-called Journalists again.

They wrote the headline as if she were peacefully manicuring someone's nails when the alligator struck.

Later you read that she pursued the alligator into waist-deep water so that she could touch it - as the homeowners screamed at her to come out of the water and leave the beast alone.

COVID-19 claims another.

[null and void]

I think she’s yet another victim of the Disneyfication of wildlife.

As well as being incredibly stupid in her own right...

[gathersnomoss]

Yet, another Covid death.

[mad_as_he$$]

Stupid should hurt.

[VeniVidiVici]

The homeowner told deputies Covert was professional in her salon but was relaxed and excited at her home.

The entire piece was written poorly.

[dynachrome]

Darwin scores again.

[HighSierra5]

I hope the alligator doesn’t get sick.

[abb]

Of course. Had there been no virus, there would be no ‘bootleg’ nail jobs. And the women would never have been there. So yes, it clearly needs to be logged as a C19 death.

[Buckeye Battle Cry]

Hard to muster sympathy for somebody that is so monumentally stupid. An absolutely avoidable death. The real question is HOW did this nitwit survive 58 years?

She also said Covert brought wine with her that she was drinking throughout her visit.

WTF is wrong with people? Especially women.

Rudderless in the sea of life...

[BwanaNdege]

Ding, Ding, Ding!!

We have a WINNER!

DARWIN AWARD!

[null and void]

True, if she’d been allowed to work in her own salon this would have never happened...

[null and void]

I hope the alligator doesn’t get sick.

It won't.

It got daid.

The family will be billed for the bullet...

[Laslo Fripp]

Drinking wine throughout the morning as well.

[babble-on]

I have to admit, the headline first had me wondering whether the alligator was doing the homeowner’s nails.

[Pravious]

True, if she’d been allowed to work in her own salon this would have never happened...
-
Does that mean they’ll count this as a COVID-19 death?

[cuban leaf]

Did she have any kids? If not, another darwin award winner. This is really incredible. I remember something like this happening with me and a moose in Alaska, but my friends that lived there told me they are very dangerous and I got back in the car.

[deport]

She told the homeowner, “I guess I won’t do this again,”

**************

Sad but her last words were accurate...

[Free in Texas]

...According to the report, Covert said, "I don't look like a deer," and reached to touch the animal when it attacked...

Well. Apparently she looked like a sandwich.
