Police have recovered the body of a small boy who was attacked by an alligator at Walt Disney World, say officials in Florida. The attack took place Tuesday night as the boy played at the edge of a lake on the grounds of the Seven Seas Lagoon. The victim was identified as two-year-old Lane Graves of Elkhorn, Nebraska by Orange County Sherriff Jerry Demings, reported the Associated Press. The boy and his family had gone to Walt Disney World for a vacation. They were wading in the water along a beach area when the alligator grabbed the boy. The boy was less than one meter from the shore when he was taken. Demings said the boy’s father tried but was unable to pull the two-year-old from the jaws of the alligator. The animal was reported to be longer than one meter. More than 50 people, including an alligator tracker, searched the area overnight. More searchers joined the hunt on Wednesday.
