a 3.6-meter-long alligator allegedly attacked Louisiana man in the flooding caused by Hurricane Ida two weeks ago was captured on Monday by the authorities, who killed him and found human remains in his stomach.

St. Tammany District Police reported that the the forensic office is functioning with investigators to determine if the remains are those of Timothy Satterlee, 71, disappeared since the attack of August 30.

Ida had caused widespread flooding and it disrupted electricity and telephone service in parts of southern Louisiana when it made landfall on August 29. Satterlee was attacked in front of her house, which was surrounded by floodwaters, in Slidell, a New Orleans suburb located on the north shore of Lake Pontchartrain.

Authorities say Satterlee’s wife heard a splash and left the house, finding that the crocodile was attacking her husband. She managed to drag her seriously injured husband up the stairs of their house.
He used a small boat to move to higher ground to call for help. But when she and a few policemen returned home, Satterlee was missing.

Police were joined by federal and state wildlife officers to search for the crocodile. A trap set by crocodile hunters caught the 225-kilogram (500-pound) animal on Monday morning.
