ORLANDO (CBSMiami) -- Florida authorities have released one of the calls to 911 after an alligator grabbed a toddler at Disney World in Orlando.
Two-year-old Lane Graves, who is being laid to rest this week, was dragged into the Seven Seas Lagoon at the Grand Floridian Resort as his father frantically tried to fight off the animal.
None of this is relayed in the call.
911 Operator: "911, What is your location and emergency?"
Caller: "Please come to the Grand Floridian please. Someone drowned in the Seven Seas lagoon lake."
911 Operator: "Where, What?"
Caller: "Someone drowned in the Seven Seas lagoon lake."
911 Operator: "At the pool?"
Caller: "No, lake."
911 Operator: "Lake?"
Caller: "Yes."
911 Operator: "You said they drowned there?"
Caller: "Someone drowned there. I just stay in the pool. Please come."
The body of Graves was recovered a day after he was attacked. Disney World has since put up signs warning people about alligators and snakes in the area and to stay away from the water.
