An alligator in Florida was reportedly found with a body in its mouth, but police aren't sure how the person actually died.

If you've been following alligator headlines recently, this may not be that peculiar of a story to you.

In May, two fisherman in Florida found a different body reportedly being eaten by alligators in a canal, but officials said they weren't ruling out homicide as a possible cause of death in that case.

In this more recent story about a Florida gator found with a body, investigators say a citizen called in the sight to police. Police say the alligator swam off and circled the area after police arrived.

Officials are still in the process of identifying the body and trapping the alligator.
