while searching for Frisbees and other flying discs was missing three limbs after a likely encounter with alligators, police said Friday.
Largo Police Department spokeswoman Megan Santo said in an email that the medical examiner's final report on the death of Sean McGuinness would be finished in about two months. McGuinness, 47, was found May 31 in the lake in Taylor Park, which is adjacent to a disc golf course. Authorities say McGuinness was known to frequent the lake to find discs and sell them.last week that McGuinness made over $100 a day retrieving the discs.
"There are stores around here that will give you $5 a piece for those frisbees or the discs. He could go in the pond and get 20 or 30 of them out in 30 or 40 minutes," the friend said."He would just walk out there, move his feet around, and they would just pop up. They're just $5 bills to him, so that's how he lived."
There are alligator warnings posted all along Taylor Lake where a 47 year old man was killed by a gator earlier today, after going in the water to look for frisbees. Disc golfers tell us despite the warnings, they see people go into the water all the time.
