A Florida woman died over the weekend from injuries she sustained after being bitten by an alligator in the Econlockhatchee River at Little Big Econ State Forest, just outside of Orlando.
Chad Weber, a public information officer for the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC), told reporters that both of Clark's arms were bitten by the alligator and that her boyfriend called 911 as he was trying to free her from the alligator's mouth.
Hernandez later told the dispatcher that Clark's arms were severed.
"Both her arms are off, like, basically," she said. "One of them is, like, hanging on by a thread, and the other one's off."
Weber said Clark ultimately succumbed to her injuries and was pronounced dead on the way to the hospital.
Multiple agencies responded to the scene, including the Seminole County Sheriff’s Office and the Florida Forest Service. Weber said authorities were able to track down two alligators in the area—one measuring 12 feet and the other 13 feet long—which were removed and euthanized following the incident.
In the wake of Clark's death, Allison said he was putting together a celebration of life event in her memory.
Hernandez also paid tribute to Clark online, calling her friend "the strongest person in the world."
