The alligator attack that killed Brittany Clark was so vicious that an arm and a hand were nearly completely torn off and her bones had teeth marks, her autopsy found.
Clark, 31, died after the 13-foot beast savaged her during a visit with her boyfriend and roommate to Little Big Econ State Forest in Central Florida on June 28.
Associate Medical Examiner Jenaye L. Mack performed the post-mortem on Clark’s body in Orlando the following morning.
In an autopsy report released Thursday and obtained by The Post, Mack said that Clark’s death was caused by “multiple blunt force injuries of the upper extremities” and the manner of death was an accident.
Mack wrote that Clark had suffered “near complete traumatic amputation of the left arm at the shoulder and near complete traumatic amputation of the right distal forearm.”
