New details are being revealed about a heinous alligator assault in Florida last month that killed a woman.

A large alligator toppled over a boat carrying a married couple, killing the wife after seizing her and dragging her under fresh water in Central Florida, state officials said.

The attack occurred near the mouth of Tiger Creek, near Lake Kissimmee in Polk County.

“An 11-foot, 4-inch alligator bit the woman and pulled her underwater,” Hailee Seely, spokesman for the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission’s southwest area, told USA TODAY on June 26.

Here’s what officials say happened the day of the attack, including details from a newly discovered preliminary report.

On May 6, shortly after 4 p.m. local time, FWC officers and Polk County Sheriff’s Office deputies responded to a complaint of an alligator incident involving individuals in the creek.

A preliminary inquiry revealed that the woman was canoeing with her husband when they “encountered an alligator, causing both individuals to fall into the water.”

The wife “was immediately bitten on the torso, and efforts by her husband to assist her were unsuccessful,” according to a preliminary FWC report obtained by KETV.

USA TODAY has requested this report.

“The alligator performed a death roll and swam away with the victim,” Seely added, adding that the wife’s body was later discovered and rescued.

The alligator who seized the woman in the canoe was killed.

A state-contracted nuisance alligator trapper arrived, caught the alligator responsible for the incident, and ‘dispatched,’ which means killed, according to officials.

On June 26, officials said that the attack was still being investigated.

Remembering Cynthia Diekema: “She radiated her inner and outer beauty.”

Cynthia Diekeman is from Davenport, according to officials. The city, located in Polk County, is part of the Lakeland-Winter Haven metropolitan region.

“She radiated her inner and outer beauty in all she did and had unconditional love for everyone,” according to her death certificate. “She cherished her family and every moment and adventure they spent together.”

Cynthia Diekema, 61, was slain in the May 6 attack in Polk County, which is part of the Lakeland-Winter Haven area.

She is survived by her 41-year-old husband Dave, two children, Jessica (Matt) Henry and Megan (Casey) Straka, and two grandchildren, Elena and Jack Henry.
