Lane Graves, a 2-year-old boy, was killed by an alligator while wallowing in the shallow waters of the Disney World lagoon. The boy was dragged into “Seven Seas Lagoon”, which is outside of the Grand Floridian Resort around 9:30 PM EST on Tuesday night. Lane was playing in about a foot of water, despite the present “no swimming” signs. Wildlife officer confirmed that they had killed four alligators in the the Seven Seas Lagoon while searching for the child, but none of them were the one that grabbed the boy. Around 4:30 PM Wednesday, officials found the body of Lane Graves.
A Disney lifeguard revealed to Daily Mail Online that the boy was 10 feet from the shore when he was snatched. It was previously reported that the boy was only in ankle-deep to a foot of water. The employee told Daily Mail Online even at a distance of ten feet, the water is ‘not too deep’. ‘We have lifeguards on duty at the play area but at the beach we don’t have any lifeguards because you’re not supposed to be in the water,’ they said.
