The body of an 88-year-old woman was found near a pond in a gated community near Hilton Head, South Carolina, after what authorities suspect was an alligator attack.
Police were notified around 11 a.m. Monday of a person in the water being"guarded" by an alligator at Sun City Hilton Head, a community for adults 55 and older located just north of Savannah, Georgia. Maj. Angela Viens, a Beaufort County sheriff’s spokeswoman, said she arrived at the scene shortly afterwards and saw the 9-foot, 8-inch male near the edge of the pond with the woman's body.
"The alligator was basically holding her hostage," Viens said."I don't know what the appropriate term would be. It was guarding her and did not want people close by."
