Haunting Final Moments Of Woman Killed In Alligator Attack As Boyfriend Tried To Save Her
The disturbing final moments of a woman who died in an alligator attack have been revealed.
Brittany Clark tragically lost her life in the most harrowing circumstances, after an alligator tore both her arms off, while her boyfriend desperately fought to save her.
Now, the chilling 911 call has been released, detailing the haunting final moments of the fatal attack in Florida last week.
Brittany, 31, had been hiking in the Little Big Econ State Forest with her boyfriend, Chance Allison, and a friend who has not been identified, on Sunday, June 28.
The group decided to take a break and dip into a nearby Econlockhatchee River to cool down at around 1.30pm, and were said to be swimming in ‘shoulder deep water’ when disaster struck.
A harrowing 911 call
Frantic audio recorded during Chance’s terrified call to emergency services has revealed much of what happened during the agonizing attack.
The trio were enjoying the water when the alligator is said to have appeared out of nowhere and started attacking Brittany.
According the Mirror US, screaming and crying can be heard in the background of the harrowing call, as Chance tells the 911 operator he was ‘still trying to get her arms away from the alligator’s mouth’.
Shortly afterwards, however, he revealed that ‘both her arms, both her arms are off,’ while Brittany’s friend can be heard saying that one arm was ‘hanging on by a thread’.
When the operator on the other end of the call asked where the other arm was, the unnamed friend said it was ‘gone’.
Chance added that the attack was ‘bad, real bad’ and begged them to send emergency services as soon as possible, saying ‘please hurry!’
He went on to say his friend was ‘losing a lot of…’ before trailing off. Eventually he told the operator that the alligator ‘went away’ but reiterated that Brittany had been left with ‘horrible’ injuries.
Together with the friend, Chance dragged his partner out of the water and told the operator: “We’re far off the trail, we’re off of a little launch area by the river… We need help now!”
In response the operator told him: “You may see a helicopter, if you see it, just try and flag it down if you can.”
More disturbing details in the medical report
Many more disturbing details relating to the fatal attack have been revealed in the medical examiner’s report, seen by the DailyMail.
The report revealed how Chance fought heroically to try and free Brittany from the gator’s grip, before it performed a ‘death roll,’ dragging them both beneath the water.
The death roll is a tactic used by alligators to subdue their prey, by twisting them onto their backs and violently dragging them beneath the water in an attempt to drown them.
Chance risked his life as he desperately tried to free his girlfriend from the 12-foot apex predator, but tragically he was unable to save her.
The report also revealed officials managed to track down the alligator following the attack, putting the animal down and decapitating it, keeping its head as a form of ‘evidence’.
“While they were swimming an alligator grabbed Brittany by her arm and began the ‘death roll’,” the report reads.
“Her boyfriend Chance grabbed the alligator trying to get it to release her when it took them both underwater.”
According to the document, Chance was initially able to get Brittany’s arm free ‘for a moment,’ but the gator immediately locked its jaws on her other arm instead.
It reads: “Chance attempted to bring them both to shore when the alligator finally let go and CPR was started on shore by her boyfriend, and 911 was called.”
A string of alligator attacks
The devastating attack on Brittany, who was a big lover of hiking and the outdoors, marks the third horrific alligator attack in central Florida in the space of a week.
Just seven days prior, a child was injured by a gator and another attack was reported the same day at Rainbow River in Merriam County.
According to the Florida Wildlife Commission, alligator attacks on humans are rare, however yesterday marked the end of mating season, which lasts from April to the end of June, during which time the animals are significantly more territorial.
