Woman killed by alligator after doing client's nails during lockdown in South Carolina

A woman who was visiting a client for an in-home nail appointment during lockdown in South Carolina was attacked and killed by an alligator in South Carolina, according to a police report released Tuesday.

Cynthia Covert, 58, drowned Friday after an alligator repeatedly pulled her into a pond on Kiawah Island, according to a report from the Charleston County Sheriff's Office. Her death has been ruled an accident, according to paralegal and public information officer Karli Maratea.

Covert saw the alligator when she was doing Howell's nails on the porch and when she was finished, she left the porch to take pictures.

Howell said she screamed to Covert that the alligator had grabbed a deer from that spot and Covert replied "I don't look like a deer" and tried to touch the animal. The alligator grabbed Covert by the leg and started to pull her into the water.

I couldn't determine from the article whether it was a pet alligator or not.

That story is kind of wild though.

Alligator in backyard; visitor petting alligator; rope being thrown to and caught by victim; etc. Sounds like a Hollywood movie plot to me.

Don't you think the homeowner is responsible for the safety of her 'visitor'?

R U serious????????

After reading the narrative how could you ask that question???

Howell said she screamed to Covert that the alligator had grabbed a deer from that spot and Covert replied "I don't look like a deer" and tried to touch the animal.

If you were a juror you probably would fine McDonald's $10 million dollars for not protecting their customer from hot coffee!!!!!
