SEMINOLE COUNTY, Fla. \u2014 A newly released Medical Examiner\u2019s report is providing more details about the fatal alligator attack that claimed the life of a 31-year-old woman in the Econ River in Seminole County.<\/p>\n

According to the report, Brittany Clark was swimming in shallow water<\/a> when an alligator bit her arm and began performing what is known as a \u201cdeath roll.\u201d<\/p>\n

The report says Clark\u2019s boyfriend, Chance Allison, grabbed the alligator in an attempt to save her. <\/p>\n

During the struggle, the alligator pulled both Clark and Allison underwater before biting Clark on her other arm.<\/p>\n

Investigators say the alligator eventually released Clark, allowing Allison to bring her to shore, where he immediately began CPR. <\/p>\n

Clark was transported to the hospital but died on the way.<\/p>\n

Following the attack, the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) captured and euthanized two alligators from the area, one measuring 12 and a half feet and the other was 13 feet long.<\/p>\n

According to the Medical Examiner\u2019s report, investigators believe they captured the alligator responsible for the attack. <\/p>\n

The report states that a row of teeth on one of the alligator\u2019s jaws was consistent with the bite marks found on Clark\u2019s body.<\/p>\n

The Barr Street Trailhead remains closed and will stay closed until further notice.<\/p>\n

FWC says its investigation into the attack remains active.<\/p>\n
