https://www.wjhl.com/news/nati...9Ie7xQ2yDOhFi5XSCW24 KIAWAH ISLAND, S.C. (WCBD) – A woman killed by an alligator on South Carolina’s Kiawah Island Friday walked over to the reptile and even tried to touch it before the fatal attack, a witness told investigators. The new details were part of a follow up report from the Charleston County Sheriff’s Office. According to the witness, 58-year-old Cynthia Covert was at the witness’ house to do her nails. She said that Covert was not acting like herself – she was more talkative and relaxed than usual. When deputies asked if the change in behavior may have been alcohol or drug induced, the witness noted that “Covert came to her residence with a glass of wine, but that was the only thing she saw.” As indicated in previous reports, Covert saw the alligator and went down to get a closer look, despite the protests of the homeowner and her husband. This report reveals that the alligator had “grabbed a deer” from the same spot just days before. When the witness warned Covert, Covert replied “I don’t look like a deer” then attempted to touch the alligator, at which point it grabbed her by the leg and dragged her into the water. In addition to trying to fend the alligator off with a shovel, witnesses tried to throw Covert a rope and pull her ashore. One witness told deputies that “Covert was about waist deep in the water and she stated in a very calm voice ‘I guess I won’t do this again’ as they tried to pull her from the water.” At that point, “the alligator took her under the water and she released the rope.” When responders retrieved Covert’s body, it was “intact with severe wounds to her leg.” The Charleston County Coroner determined the cause of death as drowning.

She thought the gator couldn't see her because it was a Covert operation. | |||

Sad that she genuinely didn’t think that could/would kill her. Jesus. Didn’t we all learn from the little one that got taken from under his parents’ nose at Disney? __________________________ "Trust, but verify." | |||

Well, as they say, "Wisdom comes from experience. Experience comes from a lack of wisdom." She got some wisdom about 10 sec. before she died. This space intentionally left blank. | |||

Oh, she spoke the truth all right: ‘I guess I won’t do this again’  "Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible." -- Justice Janice Rogers Brown "The United States government is the largest criminal enterprise on earth." -rduckwor | |||

Perhaps this was her method of suicide. "Death by Alligator". Her friend reported that she was quite calm and did not even scream while she was being gnawed upon. | |||

Those MFers are bold on Kiawah, they come right up on the pathways and close to humans. I stayed as far away from them as possible the time I visited. Was concerned one would try and sneak up on me when I wasn't paying attention, I saw tons of them, I wonder how many I didn't see but were there. Jesse Sic Semper Tyrannis | |||

Yes on wine affecting judgement, but she may have been high on something. While I hate being one to speculate, that is the vibe I got overall. | |||

I don't understand some people's choices. Alcohol can affect those choices but I can't imagine doing what she did. | |||
