Authorities Investigating If 3rd Woman Found Dead Also Alligator Victim
SALT SPRINGS, Florida, May 14, 2006
Fast Fact
There have been 18 confirmed fatal alligator attacks in Florida since 1948, not counting either of Sunday's incidents.
(AP)*An alligator fatally attacked a woman in the second deadly gator attack in Florida in a week.
Authorities also were investigating whether a third woman found dead in another part of the state was also the victim of an alligator.
The woman killed Sunday had been staying at a secluded cabin near a springhead that feeds into Lake George, said Marion County Fire-Rescue Capt. Joe Amigliore. The area is in northern Florida, about 40 miles southeast of Gainesville.

MIAMI -- The bodies of two women, both apparently killed by alligators, were found Sunday less than a week after a similar death in a state that had seen just 17 confirmed fatal attacks by the animals in the previous 58 years.

"The people she was staying with came around and found her inside the gator's mouth," Amigliore said. "They jumped into the water and somehow pulled her out of the gator's mouth."
(23 year old) Annemarie Campbell, of Paris, Tenn., was pronounced dead at the scene. Her stepfather, who had tried to help her, was treated on the scene for a hand injury, said Amigliore.
In Pinellas County, the death of another woman whose body was found early Sunday in a canal 20 miles north of St. Petersburg also was blamed on an alligator, authorities said.
Judy W. Cooper's body had been in the water for about three days, authorities said.

Sometimes these things happen, but if trained people can safely move the animal to a less inhabited area, why not? Three people have died, probably doing stupid things, but what about kids?
