The 13-foot reptile was spotted by Jamarcus Bullard in a canal in Largo, about 20 miles west of Tampa.
He said he saw the the alligator and a corpse in the water on Friday afternoon.”I threw a rock at the gator just to see if it was really a gator and like it pulled the body, like it was holding on to the lower part of the torso, and pulled it under the water.
Bullard said he started recording on his phone and contacted the authorities.A video he shared with the news station showed an officer with the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission measuring the reptile.
The 13-foot, 8.5-inch male alligator was removed from the water and was “humanely ki**lled the Pinellas County Sheriff’s Office said in a statement, adding that the remains of an adult had also been recovered.
But then Jamarcus Bullard got a better look, believing it could be a human torso in the jaws of the alligator.
Bullard told Fox13 News he reported the grisly find to the fire department, which quickly responded and confirmed it was a human part.
