MIAMI \u2013 The grieving dad of a hiker <\/a>horrifically mauled to death by an alligator in a Florida river revealed how he received a harrowing call<\/a> from her roommate as his daughter bled out.<\/p>\n

Construction worker Brittany Clark\u2019s arms were ripped apart by the massive gator Sunday during a trip with her boyfriend Chance Allison and roommate Jayden Hernandez as they swam in the Econlockhatchee River at Little Big Econ State Forest.<\/p>\n

Allison desperately tried to wrench Clark from the 13-foot beast as it sunk its jaws into the 31-year-old, authorities said.<\/p>\n

Clark was rushed to the hospital but is believed to have died from the enormous amounts of blood she lost.<\/p>\n

Her shellshocked dad, 57-year-old Robert told The Post: \u201cI received a call on Sunday from Brittany\u2019s roommate Jayden and she was explaining as it was happening<\/a>. They were trying to keep her alive and waiting for the authorities to show up.\u201d<\/p>\n

A semi-retired motorcycle technician who previously served in the US Navy, Robert said the family was already reeling from the death of his mother Barbara, 80, on Thursday when he learned his daughter was gruesomely killed.<\/p>\n

Hernandez previously said the trio had joked about there being an alligator in the shallow, 3 feet of \u201cmurky\u201d water that they were all standing in before disaster struck<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere were air bubbles within our little triangle we made with our bodies in the water and I commented on how it might be a sneaky gator and Chance, Brittany\u2019s boyfriend, swam right over it to show nothing was there and nothing was there,\u201d Hernandez wrote in a lengthy Facebook post early Wednesday morning.<\/p>\n

\u201cBritt literally commented on how she thought he was gonna act like he got attacked and we just laughed because chance would never do that because he\u2019s an amazing person and I know he is because she chose him and only one amazing strong soul chooses someone just as strong as it\u2019s own. It was just a joke.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd just a few minutes later my bestfriend got attacked.\u201d<\/p>\n
