A woman dies after being attacked by an alligator while hiking with her boyfriend, according to reports that cite emergency communications. The incident involves an alligator biting and tearing off one or both of the woman’s arms during the attack, after which she is described as cooling off in a river. Multiple outlets report that the boyfriend places a 911 call and that harrowing audio captures him reporting that her arms are “gone,” with screaming and crying heard during the call.
Authorities and the full circumstances of the attack are not detailed in the provided excerpts, including where the hike takes place or what steps were taken immediately after the call. The accounts focus on the emergency call audio and the severity of the injuries described. While one outlet states an arm is bitten off, another describes both arms being ripped off; the common elements across sources are the alligator encounter during a hike, the boyfriend contacting emergency services, and the woman’s death following the attack.
