This is a tragedy from start to finish. Florida woman who was torn apart by alligator as boyfriend tried to save her is named for first time
I am really tired of reading stories like this.
A 31-year-old woman has been named after she died in a horrific alligator attack.
Brittany Clark had been swimming in Florida with her boyfriend when she was brutally killed by the reptile.
She died after the gator tore off both of her arms in a death roll.
The devastating incident occurred when Ms Clark, her boyfriend, and an unnamed friend were swimming in "shoulder-deep water" in the Econlockhatchee River.
To quote SiGraybeard from a few years back:
Don’t go swimming if you know there are gators in the water. Corollary: if your map says “Florida” on it, and you’re in fresh water, there are gators in there. If it’s brackish or saltwater, there might be crocodiles with you.
Pro tip: There are always, and I do mean always, sharks at the beach. You may not see them; they out there.
I know it is hot, and that you go swimming in the Midwest, or the West, or New England, or wherever. Don't do it in Florida, unless it is in a designated area.
