The 2-year-old boy found last month in an alligator’s mouth in a St. Petersburg, Florida, lake died of drowning, police say. The boy was put in the lake by his father, who is charged in both deaths, according to a St. Petersburg police affidavit. Taylen was found March 31 in the mouth of an alligator in Lake Maggiore. The Pinellas County medical examiner confirmed Monday that the cause of death was drowning, St. Petersburg police told CNN. They found Jeffery inside with “apparent cuts and stabs in excess of 100 wounds,” according to the affidavit.
