Tragic Death of Homeless Woman in Florida
The daughter of a homeless woman from Florida who was eaten by a 14-foot alligator has said her mother did not taunt the deadly reptile before it dragged her off into a canal killing her.
Sabrina Peckham, 41, was found in the jaws of the alligator after being dragged by the 14-foot beast into a canal on Friday in Largo, Clearwater. A formal cause of death is still to be determined by the coroner.
Peckham’s daughter, Breauna Dorris, has now come out defending her mom saying she was likely attacked by the gator as she was walking to her homeless camp in darkness.
‘My mother was a part of the homeless population that lived in the nearby wooded area. It is believed that she may have been walking to or from her camp site near the creek in the dark and the alligator attacked from the water,’ Dorris wrote in a Facebook post.
Grief and Sorrow
The past 24 hours have been filled with grief and sorrow for the family of Sabrina Peckham. Breauna Dorris, Peckham’s daughter, expressed her deep love and the pain of losing her mother too soon. The tragedy has left the family devastated, longing for many more years with their beloved mother.
Conflicting Accounts
As the investigation into Sabrina Peckham’s death continues, conflicting accounts have emerged. While some news outlets claimed that Peckham had taunted the alligator, her daughter vehemently denies these allegations. The family is still waiting for the medical examiner’s report to shed more light on the incident.
A Troubled Past
Peckham’s untimely death has brought attention to her troubled past. Two months before the tragic incident, she was arrested for trespassing on a county wetland. This was not the first time she had been apprehended for similar offenses. Her daughter, Breauna Dorris, emphasized that regardless of her past, no one deserves to die in such a horrific manner.

As the investigation unfolds, the community mourns the loss of a life and grapples with the questions surrounding this devastating event. The death of Sabrina Peckham serves as a reminder of the challenges faced by the homeless population and the need for compassion and support in our society.
