While investigating the disappearance of an American woman on Tuesday, May 28, police in Houston, Texas, found the remains of a woman trapped in the jaws of an alligator.

This Tuesday, May 28, the body of a woman in her sixties was found in the mouth of an alligator near Horsepen Bayou Lake in the city of Houston in Texas (United States), the department’s police reported in a press release. .

At the time of this macabre discovery, Houston police were investigating the disappearance of a Texas woman. Although the identity of the victim and the cause of her death are still unknown, investigations are currently underway.

After spotting the alligator near Horsepen Bayou Lake around 8:40 a.m. (local time) Tuesday, Houston police opened fire. Once the animal was killed, divers recovered the remains of the victim and the body of the alligator.

A further investigation will determine if the victim is really the woman currently wanted by local authorities and if the cause of death is related to the alligator present at the scene.

Eight months ago a similar event occurred in the town of Largo, Florida. The body of a 41-year-old woman was pulled from an alligator’s mouth after a resident saw the animal emerge from the water with her remains between its fangs.

Also in Florida, last February, an 85-year-old woman was killed by an alligator while walking her dog in Fort Pierce.

Although alligator attacks are more common in Florida, they remain rare in Texas. The last time such an event occurred was in 2015, when a 28-year-old man died while swimming in the waters of Clear Lake, Texas. indicates the American channel ABC 13 .
