Chilling audio of a 911 call captures the moment the boyfriend of an alligator attack victim desperately tried to save her after one of her arms had been ripped off by the beast.
Brittany Clark, 31, later died from her injuries after being attacked by the giant reptile while swimming in the Econlockhatchee River in Seminole County, Florida on Sunday.
She was finally brought to shore before her boyfriend, Chance Allison, rang 911, urging paramedics to rush to the scene and describing the extent of her injuries.
“Bad, real bad please, hurry… she’s losing a lot of blood… we need to stop the blood,” says Allison in the panicked call.
A woman described Clark’s injuries as “horrible,” adding that “one of her arms is completely off and the other one is like attached barely.”
“Please hurry, that’s my best friend,” the devastated friend begged.
Clark later died on the way to a nearby hospital, Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) spokesperson Chad Weber said in a press conference on Monday.
He added that the victim did not appear to have done anything “malicious” to provoke the alligator, and had been swimming in “about three feet of water” at the time of the attack.
“A 13-foot alligator found at the incident location, and a 12.5-foot alligator half a mile away were captured and killed. Samples from the alligators have been collected, and the FWC’s investigation into this incident remains active,” said the FWC in a statement.
