<h3 style="text-align: center;">JaMarcus Bullard Initially Thought The Alligator Had A &#8220;Mannequin Body&#8221; In Its Mouth</h3>
<p>According to <a href="https://www.fox13news.com/news/alligator-involved-in-pinellas-county-death-investigation-underway-authorities" target="_blank" rel="noopener">FOX 13 Tampa Bay</a>, the situation came to public attention on Friday (Sept. 22) after a bystander named <strong>JaMarcus Bullard </strong>spotted a gator that appeared to have something in its jaws.</p>
<p>While he initially thought the alligator had a &#8220;mannequin body&#8221; in its jaws, a closer inspection prompted a macabre realization.</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;I noticed it had a body in its mouth. Like, a literal torso. So, once I saw that, I ran straight to the fire department and got them. They confirmed it was a body.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>The animal was ultimately euthanized thanks to a dual effort from the Pinellas County Sheriff&#8217;s Office (PCSO) and the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission.</p>
<p>The publication also reports that the PCSO Dive Team recovered the human remains, which were later identified as belonging to Sabrina Peckham.</p>
<p>At this point, we should note that a coroner has not yet confirmed Peckham&#8217;s exact cause of death.</p>

<h3 style="text-align: center;">Sabrina Peckham&#8217;s Daughter Speaks Out, Calls Situation A &#8220;Nightmare&#8221;</h3>
<p>As the public awaits an official cause of death, <a href="https://www.fox13news.com/news/alligator-attack-victims-daughter-wants-mother-remembered-for-her-heart-this-is-all-a-nightmare" target="_blank" rel="noopener">FOX 13 Tampa Bay</a> reports that Sabrina Peckham&#8217;s daughter — <strong>Breauna Dorris</strong>, 23 — spoke out to acknowledge, <strong><em>&#8220;Nobody expects to hear that your mother died under these circumstances.&#8221;</em></strong></p>
<p>Dorris noted that Peckham would drop by her home every day to visit her grandchildren. As a result, she knew something was off when her mother didn&#8217;t show up on Thursday or Friday. The alligator news exacerbated this sentiment.</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;I knew that she was out here. Before her name was even released or she was identified. I knew there were news articles going around about a gator with a human body part in its mouth.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>Dorris added that while her mother &#8220;chose the wrong path in life,&#8221; she wants people to remember her kindness.</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;My mother chose the wrong path in life for sure. She was selfless. One hundred percent selfless. She was homeless herself. But that didn&#8217;t matter. She would give you the last piece of food off her plate. She would give you the shirt off her back if she needed to.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>After acknowledging that a stranger crafted a memorial in Peckham&#8217;s honor, Dorris somberly said, <strong><em>&#8220;Knowing that&#8217;s how she went&#8230;it wasn&#8217;t painless. It wasn&#8217;t fast. It wasn&#8217;t easy. She struggled.&#8221;</em></strong></p>
