You all be careful when you got to Florida during triage. No matter howbad it gets, it wont be this bad!

LAKELAND, Fla. (March 15) - A man found dead in a pond was the victim ofa nearly nine-foot alligator that was captured and killed, the medicalexaminer's office said Tuesday.
Officials did not know what Don Owen, 56, a truck driver from Bartow,was doing at the pond about a dozen miles from his home. He had beenmissing since Wednesday when he was seen at a convenience store.
On Saturday his remains were found by several men fishing in Six PoundPond. An autopsy determined he had been killed by the eight-foot,nine-inch alligator, the Florida Fish and Wildlife ConservationCommission said.
Trappers caught the alligator Monday. Owen's forearm was found in itsstomach.
Residents said they had fed the alligator, which is illegal anddangerous, said Gary Morse, spokesman for the wildlife commission.
Alligators normally flee from humans unless threatened or cornered, butalligators that have been fed by humans begin to look at them as a foodsource, he noted.
Since 1948, 330 alligator attacks have been documented by thecommission. Sixteen have been fatal, including Owen's.
