Alligator kills 83 year old woman in Georgia

The Georgia Department of Natural Resources sent licensed alligator trapper Jack Douglas to Savannah, Georgia to capture an alligator suspected in a woman's death.

Autopsy results confirmed that 83 year old Gwen Williams died from blood less from injuries consistent with an alligator attack. One of her arms, her other hand, and one foot was missing.

It was confirmed that the alligator captured was the one who committed the attack when the contents of its stomach were examined.

According to senior wildlife biologist Jim Simmons, at the Georgia department of Natural Resources, this is the first death by an alligator in Georgia in 27 years.

How awful! To survive all the health threats in our society, only to have your golden years torn away by a horrible accident such as this. I hope it is true that they did catch the 'gator that did this. I may sound cruel, but a child will look like an easy snack after killing an adult; even if it is an elderly woman.
