A possible attack by a gator is believed to have killed a man in Largo Tuesday morning, according to the Largo Police Department.
The Largo Police Department said the 47-year-old man, whose identity has not been released, was looking for frisbees in the water at John S. Taylor Park when a gator likely attacked the man."A contracted nuisance alligator trapper is working to remove a nearby alligator and efforts will be made to determine if it was involved in this situation," FWC said.They're also being reminded that, as posted on the signs nearby, they should not go swimming or near the lake at any time.
According to FWC, the likelihood of being seriously injured during an unprovoked alligator incident in Florida is roughly one in 3.1 million. In 2018, a 35-year-old man was bitten by an alligator while playing disc golf in Clearwater. In that incident, the man was trying to retrieve a disc from a pond at Cliff Stephens Park when he was bitten on the arm.This story was originally reported by Veronica Beltran on abcactionnews.com.
