Authorities in central Florida now say a body found in an alligator-infested pond is a woman and there are no signs of trauma to her body.

The Orange County Sheriff’s Office tweeted Thursday that the woman hasn’t been identified and deputies don’t know how she got into the fenced-off pond.

The woman’s body was found this morning in the pond near Orlando. The sheriff’s office says it has no report of a woman who’s gone missing.

Deputies initially thought they were looking for a teenage boy since a witness had told 911 dispatchers he saw a teen flailing and screaming that they’d been bitten before going under water.
