Severed Arm Found in Alligator Suspected – A human arm that appeared to have been bitten by an alligator was found in a canal west of Fort Lauderdale, sheriff’s deputies said on Monday. The raggedly severed right arm was found on Sunday and was that of an adult male who apparently did not survive, said Broward County Sheriff’s spokeswoman Veda Coleman-Wright. “We’re sure if they survived and they’re missing a right arm, they would have come forward by now,” she said. ”Detectives have no idea what happened with this body part, whether it was some sort of accident and the person was eaten by an alligator and this is what’s left.”
