A Florida man was found dead in Taylor Lake after he waded into the water to search for missing frisbees. The man knew the lake was infested with gators, but went into the water anyway.
The body of Sean Thomas McGuinness, 47, was discovered in Taylor Lake in Largo, where he often went in to search for objects fallen from a nearby disc golf course, police said.
‘When Sean McGuinness was recovered last week, he was observed to be missing three limbs,’ Largo police spokeswoman Megan Santo said. His remains were found on May 31, and the final medical examiner’s report is expected in late July.
I simply do not understand how someone who lives in Florida would voluntarily to wade into a lake where gators are present.
McGuinness went chest-deep into the lake two weeks before the incident and knew it was filled with alligators, Derek Erskin, 37, who visited the site often, told the station. ‘He was fully aware,’ said Erskin. ‘He seemed to be pretty comfortable with what he was doing.’
I feel badly for his family, but good grief, why would you do such a thing?
