Florida hiker dies after 13-foot alligator attack; boyfriend recalls attack 'felt like it went on forever'

Brittany Clark, 31, was fatally attacked by a 13-foot alligator in the Econlockhatchee River in central Florida during a hike with her boyfriend Chance Allison and roommate Jayden Hernandez. Allison initially thought she was joking as the gator surfaced; he jumped in to help as the animal dragged Clark underwater, and the attack lasted about 30 to 40 seconds. A deputy responding to the scene attempted to save her with a tourniquet, but Clark died from blood loss. The group had joked about there being an alligator earlier; Clark’s dog Hokie and cat Shady were with her boyfriend, who is planning a celebration of life.
