911 calls capture frantic moments in fatal Florida river alligator attack

A 31-year-old Orlando woman died after being bitten by a large alligator while swimming in the Econlockhatchee River near the Barr Street Trailhead in Little Big Econ State Forest. Frantic 911 calls described severe injuries as a boyfriend tried to pull her from the gator; she died en route to the hospital. Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission later harvested two alligators (13 ft and 12 ft) and closed the Barr Street Trailhead as investigators worked; DNA analysis will determine which gator was responsible. The incident occurs amid ongoing nuisance alligator management in Florida.
