ENGLEWOOD, Florida, USA. —

A Florida woman has been found dead following falling into a pond and being grabbed by two alligators, authorities said.

Sarasota County police told the media that the elderly woman was seen falling into the pond along a golf course in Englewood on Friday night and struggling to stay afloat.

While she was in the water, two alligators were seen grabbing her, according to authorities. The woman was pronounced dead at the scene.

Authorities have removed two alligators from the area, but it is not yet clear if those were the reptiles involved. The cause of death has not been determined.

The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission notes that alligators are most active when temperatures rise.
