SEMINOLE COUNTY, Fla. — The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) identified the woman killed in an alligator attack in Seminole County as 31-year-old Brittany Clark.
Officials said Clark was hiking with her boyfriend and friend before stopping to swim in the river at around 1:30 p.m. on June 28.
FWC said Clark was swimming in about three feet of water when she was bitten on both her arms. The report said Clark's boyfriend made the 911 call and attempted to remove her from the alligator’s mouth.
Clark died from her injuries on the way to the hospital, per FWC.
Officials said FWC removed two alligators in the area, including one measuring about 13 feet long that was captured at the scene and another measuring about 12 feet that was found nearby.
During a press conference on June 29, FWC said DNA testing will determine if either alligator was involved in the attack.
