BROWARD COUNTY, FLORIDA — Earlier this week, local police in South Florida responded to a call that might very well leave them with nightmares for life. <br /> <br />On May 30 around 6 p.m., two fishermen spotted a disturbance in a canal by the Everglades. Upon closer inspection, they saw two alligators swimming around a floating dead body. <br /> <br />When Davie Police arrived on scene, much of the body’s mid-section had been eaten by the gators. A dive team was called in to retrieve what was left of the body, later found to be a man’s, as police stood by with AR-15 rifles to make sure the gators didn’t try to attack. Reports indicate the reptiles swam away, but hovered in the area while the divers recovered the body. <br /> <br />Police are treating this as a homicide as the investigation continues. The alligators are not believed to have been responsible for the unidentified male’s death.
