What happened with Gloria Serge?

Authorities have now released video of the attack, which occurred after a terrified bystander dialed 911. Gloria Serge, 85, died after being dragged into the water by an alligator in northern St Lucie County, Florida.

The massive reptile attacked the Florida woman while she was walking her dog at the Spanish Lakes Fairways retirement community in Fort Pierce, which is located 68 miles north of West Palm Beach. Serge attempted to save her pet dog from the alligator, which is estimated to weigh between 600 and 700 pounds. The St Lucie County Sheriff's Office and the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) responded to the scene after witnesses called 911 and reported the incident.

Gloria is seen looking away from the pond as the alligator moves quickly through the water toward her in the disturbing video. She was unaware of the danger until the reptile landed on land, at which point she attempted to save her dog.

"There’s a woman in the lake," the scared caller, who was watching Gloria Serge battle for her life, yelled, "The alligator's got her!" The caller continued as the alligator dragged its prey into the lake, "He pulled her into the lake." The anonymous caller said "Yes" when the 911 dispatcher inquired as to whether the alligator had dragged the victim underwater. About 8 minutes into the call, the caller observes a body floating in the water and adds, "I think she's gone, oh my God," after claiming she hasn't seen the woman's surface for a while.
