Searching for frisbees can be harmless in most parts of the world but not in the US state of Florida. In an alligator attack, an unidentified man has died in a lake at a disc golf course, police said. The person seems to have been searching for frisbees in the water, as per media reports. The freak incident happened at John S Taylor Park in Largo, Florida. In the 153-acre park, a course encompassing a lake with several signs to be beware of alligators is present. At the scene, gator trappers were called, the police said. In the man's death, "a gator was involved", the Largo police department said.
The Florida fish and wildlife conservation commission said the victim was around 47 years old, as per reports. A contracted specialist was employed to remove an alligator from the lake “and efforts will be made to determine if it was involved in this situation,” the commission said.
