A 90-year-old woman was killed by an alligator outside her South Carolina nursing home on Wednesday.

The Post and Courier reported Bonnie Walker died of "multiple sharp and blunt force injuries" from the attack.

Walker was reported missing Wednesday morning from Brookdale Charleston, an assisted-living facility in West Ashley, S.C. She was found dead in the facility's retention pond hours later.

According to the report, investigators believe the woman slipped and fell down an embankment and into the water. The alligator responsible for the attack was captured and killed.

This is the first alligator-related death in South Carolina history.
