is what happens when Canadians try to enjoy your balmy 48 degrees




An 83-year-old Canadian woman has been killed by an alligator in Savannah, Georgia.



The alligator responsible for the death of Gwen Williams is seen in this image made available by the Savannah-Chatham Metropolitan Police Department.
A couple found the body of Gwen Williams floating in a lagoon Saturday afternoon, Savannah-Chatham police confirmed in a press release.

Williams was missing her left arm, right hand and right foot.

An autopsy conducted on Tuesday found that the wounds were "consistent with those of an alligator attack."

It also concluded that Williams died from blood loss.

Meanwhile, the eight-foot-long reptile was trapped and killed Tuesday.

"The animal's stomach contents confirmed it as the gator that caused Williams' death," said the press release.

Williams was reportedly house-sitting for a relative. Police don't know where exactly in Canada Williams is from.

A wildlife biologist with the Georgia Department of Natural resources told The Associated Press that Williams is the first person known to have been killed by an alligator in the state since 1980.

The couple that discovered the body was walking on a golf course near the home where Williams was staying. Williams was last seen Friday afternoon.
