an elderly woman lost her life on Friday after being attacked by two alligators when she fell into a pond near her home in Englewood, Florida, officials said.

The woman — whose identity has not yet been released — "struggled to stay afloat" after she was seen falling into water at the Boca Royale Golf and Country Club, according to the Sarasota County Sheriff's Office, CBS News reported.

"While in the water two alligators were observed near the victim and ultimately grabbed her while in the water," deputies said, per ABC News.

The woman was pronounced dead at the scene and a death investigation was launched at the golf course following the incident. 

The Sarasota County Sheriff's Office did not immediately respond to PEOPLE's request for comment.
