The body of two years old boy who was snatched by an alligator in a lagoon at the Walt Disney World resort in Orlando on Tuesday night has been recovered.
His body was found 'intact' 17 hours after he was grabbed by the alligator while paddling in water 10 feet from the shore at the upscale Grand Floridian Resort & Spa close to the Magic Kingdom.
Mr Graves had frantically tried to save his son, Lane Graves after the alligator snatched him, but he could not pry the toddler from the animal's grasp - and the creature disappeared underwater, taking the child with it.
At a news conference last night, Orange County Sheriff Jerry Demings confirmed they had recovered the boy's body.
And while it is yet to be identified, Deming said there was no reason to believe it was not Lane, that was pulled from the man-made lagoon.
