An 80-year-old woman was killed by two alligators after she fell into a pond near her house in Englewood, Fla., on Friday night, the authorities said.
Fatal alligator attacks are rare in the United States, typically occurring about once a year, but the latest was at least the third in the United States since May. The body of a man who had been retrieving Frisbees from a lake in Largo, Fla., was found on May 31. And in June, a man was killed after being dragged into a retention pond by an alligator in Myrtle Beach, S.C.
In the latest attack, the woman struggled to stay afloat after falling into the pond at the Boca Royale Golf and Country Club community and was then seized by two alligators, the Sarasota County Sheriff’s Office said. Club officials could not be immediately reached on Sunday.
