Florida police have identified a woman whose body was reportedly found near a 13-foot, 8.5-inch alligator on Friday.

The Miami Herald reported that the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission and Pinellas County police killed the male alligator and recovered the remains after getting a call about a body in a waterway in unincorporated Largo. A day later, the decedent was identified as Sabrina Peckham, 41, who was reportedly homeless and lived nearby in a wooded area.

A resident told WFLA that he filmed the alligator after seeing a body in its mouth.

“I threw a rock at the gator just to see if it was really a gator and like it pulled the body, like it was holding on to the lower part of the torso, and pulled it under the water,” he said.

It is still unclear how Peckham died as an autopsy is pending.
