佛州Winter Garden71岁男子公园钓鱼遭短吻鳄袭击身亡 肇事鳄长11英尺8英寸已被捕获处置
据佛罗里达州鱼类与野生动物保护委员会（FWC）与Winter Garden市消防、警方消息，当地居民史蒂文·汉密尔顿现年71岁，10月16日在Winter Garden市布拉德福德纪念公园旁一处蓄水池岸边钓鱼时，遭一条短吻鳄袭击，身受重伤、当场身亡。
Winter Garden消防救援部门在下午约5时接911报警后赶到现场；水中还有其他短吻鳄活动，给救援增加了难度，救援人员没有派潜水员下水，汉密尔顿的遗体于晚7时被打捞上岸。FWC派遣的签约鳄患捕手随后在事发区域移除一条长11英尺8英寸的短吻鳄。消防局长何塞·盖因萨向媒体介绍了上述经过。
Winter Garden警方与FWC正联合调查此事，警方呼吁目击者或知情者联系Winter Garden警察局探员凯文·伯格（电话407-656-3636转6320）。事发水域邻近阿波普卡湖，该湖是佛州中部美洲短吻鳄数量最多的水域之一。这是佛州自今年6月28日以来第二起短吻鳄致人死亡事件：6月，31岁的布列塔尼·克拉克在奥维耶多附近的埃康洛克哈奇河游泳时遭鳄袭击身亡。
71-Year-Old Fisherman Killed by Alligator at Winter Garden Park in Florida
A 71-year-old Winter Garden man, Steven Hamilton, was killed by an alligator while fishing on the shoreline of a retention pond at Dr. Bradford Memorial Park on Friday, October 16, according to the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) and local officials.
Winter Garden Fire Rescue crews were called at about 5 p.m. after a 911 call. Other alligators active in the water complicated the rescue and no rescue swimmers were sent in; Hamilton's body was recovered at 7 p.m., Fire Chief Jose Gainza told reporters. An FWC contracted nuisance-alligator trapper removed an 11-foot, 8-inch alligator from the area.
Winter Garden police and the FWC are jointly investigating, and police asked witnesses to contact Detective Kevin Burger at 407-656-3636, extension 6320. The pond sits near Lake Apopka, home to one of Central Florida's largest American alligator populations. It was the second fatal alligator attack in Florida since June 28, when Brittany Clark, 31, died after an attack while swimming in the Econlockhatchee River near Oviedo.
