There have been 18 fatal alligator attacks in Florida since 1948. (Nine more are unconfirmed.) The latest appears to have been 28-year-old jogger Yovy Suarez Jimenez whose dismembered body was found in a canal on Wednesday. Witnesses saw a woman matching Suarez's description dangling her feet over the water's edge, but no one saw the attack. The Broward County medical examiner has concluded "the alligator attacked the woman while she was on land" and then dragged her body into a canal. He added that she "died of traumatic injuries sustained by an alligator attack, a mixture of blood loss and shock, and in my opinion died very fast." Authorities killed an alligator caught Thursday night but determined it did not kill Jimenez as its stomach contained only tennis balls and a football. Trappers continue to search for the killer alligator.
In the articles I read, here was no mention of whether there are signs warning of the danger - and, if so, whether these signs are displayed in multiple languages.
