Alligator Eats Teen’s Arm During Late-Night Swim
A Florida teen has lost his arm, but not his spirit, after an alligator attacked him Sunday during an early morning swim in a Florida canal.
Kasey Edwards, 18, of Okeechobee, Fla., lost his left arm after grappling with the 11-foot long alligator in a canal at 2 a.m. Sunday.
“I felt something lock down and had the sensation of needle nose pliers, just a gigantic set of them, clamping down,” Edwards told FOX affiliate WFLX-TV.
Edwards admits he and his friends were drinking before he decided to jump in the 25-foot-deep canal in Nubbin Slough in Okeechobee County.
