Staff became aware of the situation through a complaint concerning a foul odor. When personnel arrived and took a whiff for themselves, they immediately suspected a dead alligator was the cause. A closer inspection revealed they were correct, but what they hadn’t anticipated was the reptile’s commanding size. In order to retrieve the beast, the crew had to use excavator. According to a department report, the gator was taken to an official dead animal disposal area and buried.
