Killer Alligator Put To Death — Tragic Child Avenged

The alligator that dragged 2-year-old Lane Graves to a watery death in a swamp has been killed, say authorities at the Disney resort that hosted the tragedy. That's after wildlife officials in Orlando, Fla., captured and killed six alligators at Disney's Grand Floridian Resort and Spa.

The officials said that the alligator was identified by marks left on the tot — whose body was eventually found at the bottom of a swamp after search parties began to use sonar devices.

The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission added in a statement that alligator-trapping activities in the area have been suspended.

The world was horrified when little Lane was pulled into the waters around the resort on June 14, when the child was wading in a lagoon. His frantic father was injured while trying to save Lane. The autopsy determined that Lane died from traumatic injuries and drowning.
