Man Found Dead in Florida Pond in Alligator Attack

LAKELAND, Fla. A Florida medical examiner says a man found dead in a pond was the victim of a nearly nine-foot alligator.

The animal has been captured and killed. It had the missing man’s arm in its stomach.

Officials don’t know what Don Owen was doing at the pond about a dozen miles from his home in Bartow. He had been missing since Wednesday when he was seen at a convenience store.

His remains were found by several men fishing in the pond.

Residents said they had fed the alligator, which is illegal and dangerous. A Wildlife Commission spokesman says alligators normally flee from humans unless threatened or cornered. But he says alligators that have been fed by humans begin to look at them as a food source.
