• Timothy Satterlee, 71, of St. Tammany Parish, Louisiana, was attacked on Aug. 30 by a 12-foot-long, 504-pound alligator during flooding following Hurricane Ida, the Daily Beast reported.
His wife told police she was able to free him from the gator and pull him onto the front steps of their home, but while she went to get help, Satterlee disappeared.
The parish sheriff's office said on Sept. 13 that it had captured the gator with "what appears to be human remains" in its stomach.
The coroner's office was confirming that the remains were Satterlee's.
"This is a horrible tragedy and my sincere condolences and sympathy goes to the Satterlee family," Sheriff Randy Smith said. [Daily Beast, 9/14/2021]
