Harrowing bodycam shows Florida deputy pull out tourniquet after finding Brittany Clark suffering from fatal gator attack wounds
New York Post ^ | July 2, 2026 | Daniel Cody

Newly released bodycam footage captures a Florida deputy’s desperate attempt to save the 31-year-old woman fatally mauled by a 12-foot alligator last weekend.

The harrowing clip shows the officer running through the brush on Sunday and emerging at the sandy bank of the Econlockhatchee River, where moments earlier Brittany Clark was viciously attacked by a gator while swimming with her boyfriend.

Clark and another individual, presumably her boyfriend Chance Allison, are seen under a tarp next to the shoreline.

Darwinsism works every time someone does something like swimming in a wild Florida river where an over abundance of gators live.

There was a gator in the bayou adjacent to my apartment building in BTR. I found him dead on the bank one day. Someone probably poisoned him.

Maybe people shouldn't pet the fluffy cows,

play with the baby bears,

jump off cliffs with a sheet of nylon for breaking your fall

or swim in any Florida body of water that doesnt contain chlorine and you cant see the bottom.

to all of you saying, "poor girl" I say you cant fix stupid and she was stupid. As for the rest of us, The gene pool has been cleaned up a tiny bit.

Why is the video show distressing content? Never understood these asinine warnings when they show absolutely nothing.

As for the woman... swimming with gators has consequences.

Yep - still a tragedy, but, my grandkids were born in S. MS and when they moved up North, my daughter said they were at a park with a big swimming pond and got funny looks when the kids asked if they hade to be careful of the gators...

Swimming in water like that, just think what can get you if the gators don’t: leeches, snakes, flesh-eating bacteria and other wonders of nature.

I wouldn't get in the water down there around Orlando, but where my mother is from up state in cattle country, at least you can see what's coming at you.

I hope that’s the first thought of every FReeper reading this, just as it was for the both of us.

Incredibly dumb.

Friend living on an island in Florida a number of years ago worked with other fathers on the island to capture kill and sink every gator on the island so their kids could have safety.

The fact that these creatures are permitted to overrun Florida is proof that Florida man thinking is un frigging believable.
