An elderly woman was killed by an alligator in her gated community after she slipped into a pond while gardening near where the creature was lurking.
The body of the woman, identified as 88-year-old Nancy Becker, was spotted near an alligator that looked like it was 'standing guard' at 11.15am yesterday in Sun City Hilton Head, a gated adult community city just north of Savannah in South Carolina.
The death is the fourth confirmed fatal alligator attack in the United States this year and second one in South Carolina.
The alligator, identified as a 9-foot 8-inch male, was eventually captured from the pond on Monday afternoon and killed, according to authorities.
Sun City Hilton Head is a sprawling community of over 16,000 active, elder residents. Viens estimates that there are over 200 ponds and lagoons in the community.

Ian Baraclough's team will be out to avenge the 1-0 home defeat at the hands of group leaders Greece in June.
Greece captain Tasos Bakasetas scored the only goal of a scrappy Windsor Park game late in the first half.
Northern Ireland have gone 14 matches without a win in the Nations League and sit third in the group with just two points from four fixtures.
They need a good finish to avoid relegation to the fourth tier with a Belfast meeting against Kosovo on 24 September coming before the trip to Athens three days later.

The "real value" of pay fell by 3% from April to June, according to new data.
Repayments are set at £10 per week, with customers able to choose the day they are made and overpay if convenient to them.
The scheme comes after a regional pilot trial, where it found 92% of customers using food banks previously had stopped or reduced their use of them.

Mr Odinga accused the chairman of the electoral body Wafula Chebukati of "gross impunity" saying his team will pursue all legal options.

"I cannot continue," Monreal said in an Instagram post announcing the end of his 17-year senior career.
"Do I get mad? No. I listen to it and accept the situation and thank it for everything.
"Thirty-six years playing football, 16 as a professional. Squeezing my body and taking it to limits that I would never have imagined.
"A stage is over. Another starts. I'm happy and feeling good. One more time - I feel good. And that gives me peace of mind."

Millwall scored with two stoppage-time own goals to claim a remarkable 2-2 draw at Swansea City.
Swansea looked to have secured a first home win of the season thanks to first-half goals from Ryan Manning and Michael Obafemi.
But the Lions refused to lie down and had hope when Harry Darling put through his own net in the 93rd minute.
The leveller came from almost the last kick of the game as a deep cross ended in another own goal from Nathan Wood.
That meant despair for Swansea, who had seemed certain to secure back-to-back Championship victories for the first time since April and a first home victory of the campaign.
But there was joy for Millwall as they claimed a first point on the road in 2022-23.
