UPDATE | Body of boy killed by gator at Disney World recovered

LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. (AP) — Orange County Sheriff Jerry Demings says searchers recovered the body of a 2-year-old Nebraska boy snatched by an alligator at Walt Disney World.

The boy was attacked Tuesday night as he waded in shallow water at the edge of the Seven Seas Lagoon at Disney's Grand Floridian resort.

Demings identified the boy as Lane Graves of Elkhorn, Neb.

The search team grew to 50 people today as trappers and divers searched Disney's network of man-made canals, ponds and lakes. At least five other alligators were caught and cut open before they found the killer.

Demings says Disney has never had anything like this happen in 45 years of operations. He says the theme parks' wildlife-management system works diligently to keep guests safe from dangerous Florida creatures, removing or killing any alligators they find.
