"The video of the attack was posted to YouTube on October 18th, 2020 to the channel “Lo que pasa en Monterrey.” It shows a man, purportedly in his 50s or 60s, attempting to swim across the Laguna del Carpintero near Tampico, Mexico, which sits on the gulf coast of Mexico, almost directly across the gulf from the Yucatan Peninsula and Cancun.

ACCORDING TO LOCAL AUTHORITIES, THE MAN IGNORED SEVERAL WARNING SIGNS TELLING PEOPLE NOT TO SWIM IN THE WATER BECAUSE OF NUMEROUS CROCODILES POPULATING THE AREA.

As the man swims, a 10-foot crocodile is seen chugging towards him. Finally, as the croc nears, it goes under and strikes. The last thing seen is the predator’s tail whipping above the water. Onlookers are stunned and horrified at what is clearly about to unfold, though they have no way to warn the man. Their commentary, in Spanish, can be heard as the video of the attack is being recorded. A scream is also heard somewhere in the background.

Man: Take a picture, look how he’s grabbing him.

Woman: Holy f*ck, he’s toast. I can’t believe it, what a beast.

Man: He’s going to eat him, watch.

Woman: Fabiola tell the cops that the crocodile already got him and he’s underwater. Poor guy.

According to local news outlets, the man was killed by the crocodile. An arm was missing from his body when firefighters recovered it. He also suffered neck and chest wounds."
