The body of a 2-year-old Nebraska boy who was snatched off a Disney World beach by an alligator and dragged underwater was recovered Wednesday, police report.

The Orlando Sentinel says Orange County Sheriff Jerry Demings ID'd the child as Lane Graves, son to Matt and Melissa Graves of Elkhorn, Neb. His body was intact. The sheriff said he believed the boy was drowned.

Divers found the body of the boy about 16 hours after authorities first got the call that a reptile had taken the boy at Seven Seas Lagoon, Sheriff Demings said. The child's father tried to save him but couldn't.
