A Myrtle Beach yacht club community member is dead after a vicious attack by an 11-foot alligator. 

Horry County Fire Rescue units determined the alligator took hold of the person and pulled the victim into a retention pond, according to Myrtle Beach SC News. 

The victim’s body was later recovered from the pond, and South Carolina Department of Natural Resources officials concluded the alligator should be euthanized on site. 

Horry County Police spokeswoman Mikayla Moskov reportedly confirmed the department’s environmental services and criminal investigations divisions continue to investigate the death of the unidentified community member.
