Toddler’s body found after Disney alligator attack

The body of a two-year-old boy has been recovered at a Disney resort after he was snatched by an alligator.

Orange County Sherriff Jerry Demings identified the boy as two-year-old Lane Graves of Nebraska.

Tragically, his body was found in the water around 3:30pm local time after officials had been searching the Seven Seas Lagoon in Orlando, Florida for over 15 hours.

Little Lane’s body was found “completely intact,” near the attack site, leading authorities to believe he was drowned by the alligator.

Lane and his family were at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa for a movie night when he was dragged in the water around 9pm.

His father tried to rescue him however, he was unsuccessful.
