An alligator in Florida was reportedly found with a body in its mouth, but police aren’t sure how the person actually died.
Sergeant Cross continued: “He let the individual go, he is deceased, looks like this person may have been dead more than a day”.
Police were able to recover the remains, but said they were unable to identify whether the victim was a man or a woman. Cherise Cobert wrote on Facebook: “My theory is that the original “citizen” who reported spotting clothing and an aggressive alligator killed the victim and tossed them in the water hoping the gator would take the bait”.
The alligator reportedly rolled over in the water with the body in its mouth before releasing the corpse and swimming away.
Police in Lakeland are swarming around a lake after receiving a call Tuesday about a gator with a person in its mouth.
Officials said there are two alligators that keep showing up in Lake Hunter, but neither has been captured.
Lakeland is about 35 miles east of Tampa.
This is the second time alligators have been found with a human body in recent weeks. “We don’t know at this point in time”.

Trappers with Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission managed to stun what they believe to be the same reptile and drag it out of Lake Hunter and onto a boat. In a public Facebook post made by the Lakeland Police Department, it was noted that police had been called to the lake on two other occasions leading up to the incident.
