Coroner confirms identity of man eaten by alligator in Hurricane Ida floodwaters
The 12-foot, 504-pound alligator was caught earlier in September, and human remains were found in its stomach.
The St. Tammany Parish coroner, Charles Preston, was able to confirm the man who was killed by the alligator was 71-year-old Timothy Satterlee.
Satterlee was bitten by the alligator a day after Hurricane Ida hit the state, with the alligator ripping off his arm.
His wife left to get help, but his body was swept away by the water while she was gone.
