The Autopsy report of the two-year-old boy who was dragged into a Lagoon by an alligator near a Disney resort in Orlando on Tuesday
night has been released. Lane Graves, the son of Matthew and Melissa
Graves, was on vacation with his parents in Orlando before the sad
incident occurred.Lane had been playing in the man made lagoon which
wasn’t very deep around 9:20pm
when the alligator attacked and dragged him underwater. His father
tried frantically and wrestled with the alligator to save him, but could
not pry the toddler from the alligator’s jaw.
During the search for his body, wildlife officials caught six alligators in the lake and killed them all. 16 hours later,
the boy’s body was found intact in the lake. His Autopsy report
revealed that he died from “drowning and traumatic injuries.” His
parents have now issued a statement, saying,
“Words
cannot describe the shock and grief our family is experiencing over the
loss of our son. We are devastated and ask for privacy during this
extremely difficult time. To all of the local authorities and staff who
worked tirelessly these past 24 hours, we express our deepest
gratitude.”
