A crocodile stalked at the time of the flood... an American tragically lost his life

A 71-year-old American man lost his life in a horrific way, after he was dragged into the water and devoured his arm by an alligator in Slidell, Louisiana, in the United States of America.

The crocodile tore the elderly man's arm as the man was trying to escape from the recent floods that swept the state, and his wife quickly ran out of the house after hearing a noise outside, and dragged her husband down the stairs and rushed for help, but according to CBS's WWL-TV, the elderly died of his injuries. .

St. Tammany County Sheriff Jason Joubert said the crocodile was most likely in the area due to the floodwaters, warning that alligators may be lurking in the floodwaters and swamps that result from them.

Hurricane Ida, which caused flooding, wreaked havoc on the Louisiana coast, and thousands of National Guard personnel are working to respond to disasters and rescue stranded people.

In March this year, an eight-year-old boy was swallowed by a crocodile while he was swimming in a river with his little brother in East Kalimantan Province, Indonesia. engaged in crying.
