Brittany Clark was brutally torn apart by an alligator while she was on a hike in the Little Big Econ State Forest in central Florida.
The attack took place last week, with 911 audio and a chilling medical report revealing more about her gruesome final moments.
She was with her boyfriend, Chance Allison, and an unnamed friend on Sunday (June 28), when the trio decided to have a swim in a river, just after 1:30 PM.
The 31-year-old was violently attacked by an alligator, which tore both her arms off while she was still in the water after a ‘death roll.’
911 audio suggested that Chance called emergency services while trying to fight the reptile off, with screaming and crying heard in the background.

What did 911 audio reveal?
Chance explained to the operator that he was ‘still trying to get her arms away from the alligator’s mouth’.
Not long after, he explained that ‘both her arms, both her arms are off,’ while the unnamed friend was also heard claiming that one arm was “hanging by a thread.”
The dispatcher would ask where the other arm was, and the friend simply said it was ‘gone.’
Chance explained that the attack was ‘bad, real bad,’ as he asked emergency responders if they could ‘please hurry.’
He said that she was ‘losing a lot of…’ before trailing off, though he told the operator that the gator left but his girlfriend was left with ‘horrible’ injuries.
They then proceeded to drag Brittany out of the water, telling the operator: “We’re far off the trail, we’re off of a little launch area by the river… We need help now!”
The operator responded: “You may see a helicopter. If you see it, just try and flag it down if you can.”
A medical examiner’s report also revealed Chance’s attempts to save his girlfriend’s life, in detail.

What did the medical report reveal?
The medical report, which was obtained by the Daily Mail, detailed that the trio were swimming in ‘shoulder-deep water’ in the Econlockhatchee River.
This is when the alligator grabbed Brittany and started a ‘death roll,’ a technique used by the predators to subdue prey.
It involves them twisting onto their backs before attempting to drag their prey underwater, drowning them.
The report further details: “Her boyfriend Chance grabbed the alligator trying to get it to release her when it took them both underwater.”
Chance got the predator to release Brittany’s arm ‘or a moment,’ before it locked its jaw on her other arm.
He tried to drag them to shore, which is when the alligator let go and Chance started to administer CPR on his girlfriend, calling 911.
Brittany died on her way to the hospital, resulting in wildlife officials euthanizing and decapitating the alligator responsible.
The popular hiking route, Barr Street Trailhead, has now been closed for the foreseeable future.
