THIS STORY:
An alligator, 4 to 7 feet long, dragged 2 year old Lane Graves under water in the Seven Seas Lagoon about 9:00 p.m. on June 14, 2016, at Disney's Grand Floridian Resort & Spa just outside of Orlando, Florida.
His parents tried to rescue him; the father was attacked by a second alligator. The victim's body was found nearby the next day, intact and drowned.

The Angel face you see is the Haserot, named “The Angel of Death Victorious". The stoic angel is seated on the marble gravestone of canning entrepreneur Francis Haserot and his family. Holding an extinguished torch upside-down, it represents a symbol of life extinguished. Wings are outstretched and the gaze is straight ahead.
IN THE END, DEATH ALWAYS WINS. LEST THE FACES NOT BE FORGOTTEN...
This channel is focused on casually walking and viewing a handful of the thousands of forgotten names and faces at various cemeteries near and afar. Seeing their faces up close. And when able, telling the stories behind their names.
Most graves are unknown and lost to history.
Some are famous.
And some infamous....
....and some with tragic endings.
#graves #cemeteries #death
I can’t believe that some few people are saying that because there were some signs that the family didn’t sue and that’s why. Three comments I saw so far.
There are always a handful of people that have to take the negative road.
Do you really believe this people? Put yourself in this family’s position. Your two year-old baby son gets eaten by an alligator and “there’s a sign there”.
….and you are not going to sue? Because there was a sign.
Are you kidding me?
The real deal is they could have easily sued for multi-millions of dollars and easily won with the public sympathy, news channels, etc…, Disney would have done anything to not have a court case - signs or no signs.
Disney’s brand is synonymous with “little kids”. Do you have any idea what the level of brand-name destruction would have been if this family would have sued?
I just can’t believe that some people just have to find another reason …and not just believe that this family probably was taking the highroad.
Sometimes peoples’ cup is always “half empty”. Sheesh. 🤦♂️
Disney may have paid out millions right to begin with out of fear just the “possibility” of them being sued. Signs or no signs…they should’ve had ANY place with ANY dangerous creatures, all gated up To assure safety.
Those poor parents- I can’t even imagine.
It made me sick when this happened.
He’s with the lord now.
I'd not be in their shoes. Because being an adult means being aware of what's around you. It also was SOME signs it was many signs.
But then again I couldn't afford to stay at the grand Floridian. I has to stay at Fort Wilderness campground.
Hey Ron, here is my opinion, and I could be wrong but if there were signs posted do you think they would have let that baby near the water? I don't think they would have...Yes they could have had a major lawsuit and would have won . I feel that his parents even though they were heart broken knew it was a accident and it could have happen to anyone..This shouldn't be about if there were signs posted or why they didn't sue..It's about remembering a sweet baby that's no longer here...And just a FYI with all the canals and such surrounding that area it's very easy for gators to get in..
@@krisdeas2999 there WERE signs posted- everywhere. That’s his point. Just because there were…doesn’t mean they “couldn’t ” have still sued the living💩 out of them!
@krisdeas2999 there were literally photos and videos the day of the incident showing them. Not to mention people saying they didn't believe the father let him past the signs.
The opening shot showing the Jesus sculpture is just beautiful!
Happened at Disney. I feel for his family!! I live in Tampa, Florida- guaranteed every lake has a gator. At night you can shine a flashlight and see their red eyes- red eyes!! It looks creepy!
My Dad retired to Fla. That's the first thing he told me before we visited there's gators in all bodies of water stay clear very scary
@@daunn8456 Very probable. I've lived in southwest Florida for several years and have seen them in lakes, rivers, streams, ditches and even a mud puddle. I live in a subdivision with 3 small lakes and we get alligators frequently. The snowbirds tend to freak out and have them removed not realizing that it leaves a vacuum that another(s) will fill. In a place like Disney World they try to keep the waters clear of them but it is nearly impossible to be sure. I felt sorry for the family when I heard about it, so hard to deal with.
May Lane rest in peace.thank you Ron for covering this as always with respect.
That's very scary. I could never live in Florida for that reason alone. 😮
@@jenniferhansen3622 It isn't really that scary if you use common sense. No feeding them, no going near water, especially murky water where you can't see the bottom and never walk a dog near the water. They are called 'gator chow' for a good reason, gators will attack the dog even if they wouldn't the human. However if you try to save the dog they will take you down. I've sat on my patio and watched a gator sun itself on the shore some 30 feet away but I would never be dumb enough to go nearer. I have taken pictures of them with my cell but used the zoom to stay a safe distance. I only swim in pools never in the lakes or rivers. No one in my subdivision has ever lost a pet or been in danger from a gator here because we don't play risky games with them but have learned to live with them. Once in a while we get an aggressive nuisance gator that has to be forcibly removed but usually they end up moving on due to lack of prey..
When this happened my grand daughter had twin boys, she couldn’t sleep at night because it made her sick. It makes us all sick. This is Florida land of gators. Sleep well precious boy.
I would Never live in Florida
Such a sad story. Thank you for remembering him Ron
Thank you Ron for remembering this story and telling it so well, God bless this little angel and may he rest in love❤
Very nice & preety
This has got to be one of the most horrific stories you've told us! I can't even imagine being the parent watching your child get snatched up like that right in front of your eyes. God bless those parents!
I'm sure it's something they relived every day for the rest of their life. It's a horror story as worse as it gets. The animal made a mistake they didn't even eat the boy alligators aren't typically man eaters although they have before but if they were man-eaters they would have ate this little boy and there wouldn't have been anything left. They typically eat bones and all because they're intense stomach acid can break down even bones.
Such a horrible story, but something people need to be aware of. Things are not always safe, even at Disney. Thanks for sharing Lane’s sad story. May he rest in peace.
I remember listening to the police scanner that day.
Perhaps Disney made a private deal with the parents!...Also, I wonder if Disney already knew about that dangerous area and had signs up!...Why didn't they close that whole area all together for safety!!.. 🤔
@@alicedacosta1825exactly.
Whenever you're near fresh water in Florida, you have to be assume they're in there.
My sister and BIL have stayed at that resort since Lanes passing. My sister said there are big signs at the beach now saying “Danger alligators and snakes” I cannot imagine the grief and devastation those parents have gone through! RIP Lane!
I'm glad they put signs up...I remember after this happen they had closed that area off...
The signs have always been there.
But why not just close the dangerous area all together even with the signs up???....I think Disney could be sued to their last dollar!...What the heck is the matter with this people!...
I like to think about Lane being in heaven now with family .
Hopefully Disney made a donation to this baby's foundation. So sad!
I hope they paid for his funeral
I hope Disney did something, not just nothing.
I always try to go visit his memorial lighthouse when I go to the Grand Floridian. It still breaks my heart remembering the story.
A story you don’t want to dwell on, absolutely horrifying. Thanks for remembering little Lane. ❤
yep, I dod not need to share the gory details. this is all bad enough.
@@FacesoftheForgotten Sorry, that isn’t what I meant. Just that it’s something you can’t fathom and the more you think about it, the worse it gets. I hadn’t heard of it so knowing what happened is better than not knowing. Especially that his parents didn’t sue, which makes them heroes in my mind. Thanks for these moments to remember those who are no more on God’s green earth ❤️
I feel so sorry for that little boy and his family. People are actually the one's to blame for the attacks. They keep destroying their habitat forcing them to live closer to people and lose their fear. Causing them to become more dangerous when encountered just like many other animals.
Ifeelsorry for the family as well but it's not the alligators fault habitat is being destroyed everyday and theese animals are going to come closer and close to us ,rest little one
❤😢
Poor little boy
Beautiful place
I agree 💯
Very sad and tragic story. Imagine the terror this little guy went through before he died-one second he was at an exciting resort with his family, the next he was in the water being eaten alive! His poor parents, the worst thing in the world is to feel unable to keep your own kids safe. Not suing Disney after that is the right thing to do, most of the time it is not worth it as big corporations have tons of money to throw at the case and drag it for many years and you have to keep reliving the worst day of your life every time you go to court-you are never going to get your loved one back, putting their money into a life-changing, life-saving foundation for other kids is a way more positive and beautiful way to remember their happy little boy, their beacon of hope. RIP Lane.
You didn't have to go into so much gruesome detail.
@limlianhui9462 Please do not spread false information. I remember this sad tragedy but the little 2 year boy WAS NOT eaten alive! Orlando Police Demings, accompanied by a Catholic priest, told the parents their child was found and the body was intact. The alligator was guarding the area where little Lane was.
Don't be dramatic it was probably a drowning
May he rest in peace.
I heard this sad incident on our news here in the UK. Just watching this makes me wonder how his poor family coped. He was a beautiful little angel, given but for a short time. RIP little one 🌺🌺
Poor little guy. So sad what happened to him. I'm glad his family is keeping his memory alive, and it's so nice to see a place with so many flowers on the walls. That's one of the reasons it feels so peaceful there. There's a lot of love. Thank you for letting us know his story, Ron. God bless him and his family.
I took a little bit of comfort that there were so many flowers too.
That story is so sad. 😢 I really don't understand why bad things happen to babies 😢 I thank you for sharing this Ron. He will be remembered a bit longer now. RIP sweet boy 💙
Thank U Ron ❤I haven't commented alot recently just been diagnosed with blood cancer and U give me comfort thank u❤
I will keep you in my prayers and may you have a full recovery.
Be strong sweetie.🙏♥️
hang in there Debbi, we got your back.
In the name of most powerful Jesus Blessed Mother Mary and Joseph and all the saints you will be healed 🙏🏻🙏🏻❤️keep strong in Faith God Bless 🙏🏻❤️
❤🙏🙏
This one was a tearjerker Ron. I can,t even imagine what those poor parents went thru. 😢 R.I P. little angel!❤❤❤❤
Hi Ron. Sad story.
Thanks from 🇬🇧.
Children should simply never die before their parents. So good of you to bring all these folks' stories to the masses so that they may be remembered. If you ever make it to Nova Scotia, Canada there are a few stories I could point you to, including one about an 11-year-old boy who was almost certainly murdered by his step-father. He's buried in an unmarked grave, but if I'm able to locate his final resting place then I plan on making a marker for him.
Thank you. Yes / pls email me the stories. I’ll contact info is under the about section I do have some stories in Nova Scotia on a list that is already going.
Hey Ron, I was stunned when I saw this pop up my daughter facetimed me from Disney yesterday and I was so worried as my granddaughter was stood right next to a lake of somesort with gators in it!! I think it had an enclosure round it but I told her to move!. That poor little toddler didnt stand a chance 😢 God Bless him 💜
yikes. so glad nothing happened!!
It's Great how is family handled that horrible day not sueing the hotel or Disney and setting up a foundation in his honor
Imma definitely sueing
Yay my favorite RUclips guy! ❤ Be well Ron.
I was at Disney when this happened, staying at the Contemporary Hotel. It was shocking and i cant begin to imagine what his family went through. Continued prayers 🙏 for them all.
wow, you were there. unreal. you will remember that time, I know the feeling.
Yes, it continues to seem like yesterday. And as I recall the Dad attempted to wrestle Lane away from the jaws of the gator but the gator got away and went under the water.
I would have check out if I was there
tragic. Poor little boy.
I remember that. Horrible. There are lakes all over Florida. There is one behind our home. Kids fish in the lakes. I’ve told them and their parents, that alligators swim there. They can come out of the water lightning fast to get prey. Authorities took 2 HUGE gators out of our lake that was menacing dogs. They have snatched dogs right off leashes. So dangerous. Respect nature.
Yes they are everywhere. I live in a subdivision with 3 small lakes. Fortunately the water is very clear so one can see the bottom for quite a way out. We get gators frequently but some of our snowbirds don't get that you can't get rid of them permanently. Remove one and another will move in. Out HOA has few hard rules (thankfully) but one is that dogs must be leashed and everyone here knows to watch the lake when near and move away when you see one. No one has been endangered and no pets have been lost. I think if we had murky water like a lot of lakes here it would be a lot more dangerous.
i think i did hear that. if I'm correct they killed that gatter. we don't have them here in nz other then the zoo well i think they have them.
So sad he was a beautiful little boy RIP Lane 🙏🕊️
That was a hard story to watch. It was probably hard to make. Thank you, Ron
Hi Ron. What a beautiful cemetery. Very sad story. I can't imagine the pain the family went through. Thank you for the walk about. 🇺🇲
It was devastating. I remember hearing about it as I live in the area.
I rarely comment but watch everything you post... this story is beyond heartbreaking. And no, people shouldnt hate alligators because of this. The alligator can't be "blamed". It's their nature.
June 2016 was an awful time in Florida..especially Orlando. Lane's death, the Pulse Nightclub massacre, and the murder of singer Christina Grimmie.
Thanks for checking in. Appreciate it. I agree
Thank you Ron for a look at little Lanes resting place. I will never forget when that happened and how I hurt for that baby and his family. What a beautiful family lace that he is at.
Thank you for helping to make sure nobody is forgotten. As a parent my heart breaks for this little angel and his family no one should have to know that kind of pain. May he rest peacefully and safe in the angels arms.
Honestly everyone should just assume any body of water in Florida has a gator in it. Also I can't believe this was 8 years ago! I remember hearing about this.
Rest in Peace little Lane Thomas 🙏 I didn't know you, but I will never forget your life and your sweet face.
I remember hearing about this little boy. It makes me cry. Thank you Ron for helping us to remember Lane and to Bless his parents. 😢😢 ❤❤.
What a horribly event. I have heard this story before but have never seen his grave. What a beautiful place he is interred. I can't imagine going through something like this the way these parents did, and yet they didn't even sue. They are obviously very honorable and good people. This poor little boy, snatched just like that by a monster. Makes me never want to bring any kids I know to alligator territory. A vacation that turned into a nightmare of the worst kind. I pray his parents are doing ok and may Lane RIP ❤💐
Thank you Ron for remembering Lane. Makes us realize how precious life is
First i heard about it, how absolutely horrible.. Such a tragedy.. God bless the family. RIP little one
I remember this story. Broke my heart ..have gone to Didney since from Detroit but we dont stay on site
We stay in a huge condo..❤
Such a tragic end for a sweet lil guy. May he rest in peace.
Sad story but an amazing courageous family. Thanks Ron
I have never heard this story. Oh my, God Bless those parents and sister. May he rest in peace.
Oh My mercy that's horrifying bless the family
This is such a sad story that happened to this little boy I remember when it came on the news it was horrifying to have this happen to this little baby boy I know he is in heaven and resting in peace and his mom and dad will see him again I pray for his parents and his siblings❤
So sad and heartbreaking 😢😢😢
Time is relentless. When you said 2016 I jumped in shock because I was thinking it was like 2 years ago! Rest in peace little one 😢💔
I know, right?? I thought as well
Thank you for this story, however terribly sad it is.
I remember hearing about this unfortunate tragedy, very tragic. R.I.P. Lane 🕯️🕊️🙏🏽
I remember this! I was upset that Disney didn’t do anything good for this family. To me they were in the wrong because they held movie night on that beach , snacks, encouraged families to use that beach. It was horrible what happened to that little boy. In the media in my neck of the woods it was making the family was responsible because they let him wade in the water, even people giving them a hard time about it. To me that was wrong. The area is open and they used it with Disney Guest. Other wise should have been fenced off and warnings of alligators. God Bless this family ✝️
There were signs to stay out of the water and beware gators and snakes. What more could Disney do?
RIP, Child (Lane),RIP...🙏🙏🙏💐🕊️
Rest in peace, little one.
Thank you for sharing Lane's tragic story. Every time someone shines a light on his life, I'm sure his parents are glad to know their son hasn't been forgotten & his memory lives on.👼🏻🥀 Suing a company is usually meant to send a message that they did something negligent & dangerous. Unfortunately,🐊 attacks are instinctual. I'm not sure any amount of money could ever fix losing their beautiful son.😢 Much like many other vacationeers who visit Florida and experience 🦈 attacks, they probably didn't think this could happen to them. I pray that Lane's parents & loved one's have a measure of peace & understanding. 🌹🕊
This is a very sad story. I just can’t image what they went through.
So sad for lane so cute Rip to you little man
Yes I remember what happened to him. I cried and cried for days for this little guy and the parents family friends .Thank you for telling his story .still makes me cry. Oh I pray he didn't know I really hope God took him right then and he never knew what happened. I'm so sorry for the parents to witness that
Ron thank you I remember very clearly I cried then I cry now I lived in Miami when this happened now in Tampa FL😭😭😭💔💔💔 so so sad. The parents should have sued for negligence and donated some of the money to childrens charities or anywhere but should have. How the heck not going to have signs up cautioning the visitors. Many don't know about Florida having Alligators in every body of water here😠😠
It was suppose to be only happiness and joy an innocent Angel taken away to soon for others negligence 😭💔 God Bless and give the parents strength each day it's not easy🙏🏻❤️😢
What negligence? Disney had signs up waring of gators and snakes. What more could they do? The family ignored the warnings and paid a terrible price.
🌺'Rip' ✧ • ෴†෴• ✧ Little Lane! ᶫᵒᵛᵉ 𝓊! ❤ˎˊ˗ Tʰₓ!..Ron!. ☸ڿڰۣ- 🌺
I have heard of this story ,how horrifying that must of been for the family an the little boy Rip Lane😢 so sad . Florida is full of gators .i just got back from Marshfield Wis for work .my job has me going all over for parts for my family business an this episode popped up .It has been getting warm an humid out an tons of rain ☔ lately but this is Wisconsin in June . Condolences to lanes family .thank you for remembering the little boy .Ron safe travels an have fun
I just can't imagine the nightmare this family has had to endure,.
See I'm from New York , the hotel made the beach look inviting. I too would have had no idea about the alligators. I'm not trying to sound stupid. I would have thought they had preventable measures in places by some of the resorts,, I mean why wouldn't there be fencing around or make it not so accessible, do you kinda know what I mean..
Not everyone is from Florida, not everyone knows the risks..
Rest In Peace to this beautiful little boy.
Thank you for doing this video. RIP beautiful Angel.
Thats a horrible thing that happened to Lane. I just can't imagine how terrifying that was for his family. RIP Lane 💙
Thank you Ron for remembering this beautiful boy so sad. We have s few crocodile attacks in Queensland Australia mainly because people ignore the signs and go swimming. RIP Lane
Who the hell would ignore the signs 😳
@MissSpiritual.Soldier People mainly tourists who think it won't happen to them you can look some of the attacks up
@@jacqui.amelie I believe you! I’m just shocked people would ignore signs that’s absolutely crazy and brainless I would 100% take notice of the signs lol
Deepest sympathy to his family.
This story always leaves me Speechless and heartbroken 💔
Sad story 😢, I hope you are having a good vacation
I haven't heard the story
morning Ron such a sad story may that sweet pee rest in peace. 😥❤🌹🌹.
I remember this..Such a sad story...Lane was a cute little boy...The last I heard they closed off that area and will not reopen it...Even tho this was a accident it's still very sad...Rest in Peace Lane...
Poor soul thanks for the video!!
hey ron! what a tragic story, what a beautiful place
Hi Ron! What an horrible story my God. So sad and unexpected. Family got mad I am sure they cannot forget. Poor baby !!! My heart is broken.😢😢😢
I've lived in Florida most of my lives and have come close to alligators a number of times. Most of the times, they're pretty mellow and usually wont attack adults. However on occasion if presented with the opportunity they do go after children and small pets. I remember the story about the Lane Graves attack and its so sad, but considering the number of gators there are in Florida and their proximity to people, both the attack and fatality rate are surprisingly low. With under 500 unprovoked alligator bites on humans reported since 1948 and around 30 fatalities.
RIP 👶🏼 Can’t imagine how his parents feel now 🙏🏻
Oh my how horrible! RIP Lane! I do remember when this happened! ❤
This is the first time I have heard this story. What a tragedy! Thank you for remembering this very precious child. God rest his soul. Blessings to his family.
Yes Ron I remember this happening such a horrible story. He is a very handsome little angel and he’s in a very beautiful cemetery. My heart and prayers go out to his family. Thank you Ron for remembering him and sharing this with us. ♥️🙏✝️💐💐🌹🌹
I hope his parents will see your story here also and read everyone’s condolences to him and his family. 🙏✝️
I moved from San Diego in 1993 cuz both sisters lived in Palm Bay, 40 minutes south of Orlando. A little town without even liable transit system. I rode my 10 speed to Melbourne and back. There was an alligator once on the side walk of the boulevard, they can run about 40 mph. I evaded it. One day I open my front door a snake with red and black stripes was there. 3 months is all I lasted. I was out of Florida so fast. I'm so grateful that while I was at work my 8 year son did not get attacked going home from school. I still get anxiety just the thought.
Alligators are an endangered spicy but they have populated greatly and humans are endangered. Oh, my blessed Lord, how can people go there? And there are people that love their alligator living in their neighborhood ponds. Ugh.
May his family truly have the Lord within giving them peace and Lane, the beautiful little angle, may he be cuddled in the arms of Lord Jesus Christ. Amen🙏🎈🏉🍦🍭
We moved to Palm Bay in 1994..still here, it's a major city pretty much and nothing like back then. But I can attest...still the same wildlife roaming free lol.
@@mattm6780 uuugghh you all are brave😬🙏
My son worked at Disney he had a internship and was in a gated Disney apartment community, out his balcony was a huge pen of 30 alligators , my son told me that they find alligators all over Disney and at the time his 2 younger brothers wanted to spend the night and I said absolutely not considering they could of fell right in that is how close the pen was to the balcony, I was shocked that there are Alligators all over Disney....Sad Story!
Very sad Ron,May lane R.I.P. Can’t imagine how his parents feel even after all this time and his sister was very lucky too,safe travels mate and thank you,🙏🙏👋👋👍🇦🇺
such heartbreaking tragedy 😢 RIP dear child 🙏
So sad a toddler
I'm more confused than trying to understand, it's sad Thanks for sharing
I remember this tragedy...I was horrified
It's so sad and so awful to comprehend loosing your child in them circumstances.
Such a terrible tragedy. I can’t imagine the pain those parents lived through and still do. Peace be with them and precious little Lane 😢💜
So sad
I couldn't image either how horrible
Sad story and my heart goes out to the family.
We didn't hear about this in England, such a sad tragic story our hearts go out to the family thank you Ron for letting us know.
Jesus The Good Shepherd -- John 9:35--10:20 That sweet child is now in the Lord's care. Bless the child's parents & family & of how they're keeping their son's memory alive by helping others.
I will keep them in my prayers❤
Never heard this story before, its unbelievable. MARIE from the UK 🇬🇧❤️🏴
Hi Ron sad story anf it's Mary from Arkansas and have been offline bc of a bad charger......missed you ❤......
Very sad story R I p little one.
I lived in Florida for a bit and was very tempted to take a dip in the canal on those hot days. But the water was foreboding instead of inviting. I passed on that opportunity. The next person to swim in the canal got eaten.
yikes,,,,scary
My God how awful! Thanks Ron!😢
