The search for the little boy who was dragged away by an alligator into the water by Disney World Tuesday night has turned into a “recovery effort,” officials said on Wednesday.
“We know that we are now working on recovering the body of the child at this point,” Orange County Sheriff Jerry Demings said in a press conference at noon, via a live feed. Demings added that the attack is “certainly not survivable at this point” and said the family of the boy, who has not been identified, “will no question lose a 2-year-old child.”
Nick Wiley of the Florida Fish and Wildlife Commission said they’re “hopeful we can bring some closure to the family.”
