A burglary suspect has been attacked and killed by an 11-foot alligator while trying to escape from police officers.
The remains of 22-year-old Matthew Riggins, a resident of Palm Bay, Florida, were found in a lake in Barefoot Bay on November 23, ten days after he was reported missing.
On the evening of November 10 local residents in Barefoot Bay had called the police to report two men dressed in black who'd been acting suspiciously behind their homes.
Police launched a search with a helicopter and a K9 unit and, according to deputies, Riggins called his girlfriend on the phone to tell her he and an accomplice were being chased by authorities.
Police believe Riggins then jumped over a fence to hide in a lake - at which point he encountered the alligator.
"He probably went into the lake to hide from the officers and the dog, and came across that gator," said Major Tod Goodyear of Brevard County Sheriff's Office. "To hide somewhere to try and get away, and then meeting up with an animal like that, no, I've never had that happen before."

Did they convict the gator of a hate crime?

HOORAY alligator
Well I saw my baby walkin',
With another one today,
Well I saw my baby walkin'
With another one today.
When I asked her "What's the matter?"
This is what I heard her say.
Chorus:
See you later alligator,
After 'while, crocodile.
See you later alligator,
After 'while, crocodile.
Can't you see you're in my way now?
Don't you know you cramp my style?
When I thought of what she told me,
Nearly made me lose my head,
When I thought of what she told me,
Nearly made me lose my head.
But the next time that I saw her,
Reminded her of what she said.
Chorus:
See you later alligator,
After 'while, crocodile.
See you later alligator,
After 'while, crocodile.
She said, "I'm sorry, pretty daddy,
You know my love is just for you."
She said, "I'm sorry, pretty daddy,
You know my love is just for you,
Won't you say that you'll forgive me,
And say your love for me is true."
I said, "Wait a minute, 'gator,
I know you mean't it just for play."
I said, "Wait a minute, 'gator,
I know you mean't it just for play.
Don't you know you really hurt me,
And this is what I have to say."
Chorus:
See you later alligator, after 'while crocodile,
See you later alligator,
So long, that's all,
Goodbye...
Okay, you owe me a new computer screen! I just spewed coffee all over this one! LOL!

Talk about ‘Taking a bite out of crime’.
Dang, you beat me to it!

Hey lets hide over here with the Chainsaws...nah.. Lets hide over here in the gator pond.......
If some of ya'll never been down south too much
I'm gonna tell you a little bit about this
So that you'll understand what I'm talkin' about
Down there we have a plant that grows out in the woods
And in the fields looks somethin' like a turnip green
And everybody calls it polk salad, polk salad
Used to know a girl lived down there
And she'd go out in the evenings and pick her a mess of it
Carry it home and cook it for supper
'Cause thats about all they had to eat, but they did all right
Down in Louisiana, where the alligators grow so mean
There lived a girl, that I swear to the world
Made the alligators look tame
Polk salad Annie, polk salad Annie
Everybody said it was a shame
Cause her momma was a workin' on the chain gang
(A mean vicious woman)
Everyday ?for supper time, she'd go down by the truck patch
And pick her a mess of polk salad, and carry it home in a tow sack
Polk salad Annie, the gators got your granny
Everybody says it was a shame
Cause her momma was a workin' on the chain gang
(A wretched, spiteful, straight-razor totin' woman
Lord have Mercy, pick a mess of it)
Her daddy was lazy and no count, claimed he had a bad back
All her brothers were fit for was stealin' watermelons
Out of my truck patch
Polk salad Annie, the gators got your granny
Everybody said it was a shame
Cause her momma was a workin' on the chain gang
(Sock a little polk salad to me, you know I need me a mess of it)
