Somewhere, someone was asking why Grandma was late for breakfast...
A family member spotted her and contacted emergency services around 9:30 a.m. As emergency medical workers were trying to revive the woman, who was unresponsive, “an alligator appeared and was guarding the woman, interrupting emergency efforts,” the sheriff’s office said in a statement.
The alligator, a 9-foot, 9-inch male, was removed and euthanized, officials from the South Carolina Department of Natural Resources said.
The woman was pronounced dead at the scene, the sheriff’s office said.
