It's very sad that the parents didn't abide by the no swimming signs and that the park didn't feel it necessary to put up any alligator signs. Most places around here have "Do not feed the Gators" signs.
At first I misread that as the alligator drugged him and thought, well, maybe if the kid wasn't wearing such revealing clothing he wouldn't have looked as tasty?
Seriously though, if there were gators in the area and there wasn't anything specifically saying that, I think a wrongful death suit is possible. I mean, "NO SWIMMING" rarely ever means "YOU'LL FUCKING DIE IF YOU GO NEAR HERE."
No swimming means stay out of the water period. you don't need a reason why as it is not a debate. if nothing else green standing water means the conditions are ripe for amebas. that and a small cut means brain damage. Again no swimming means you don't get to decide how much of the rule you want to break based on your risk assessment abilities. It means, stupid stay out of the nasty green water
