An alligator killed a woman whose dismembered body was found floating in a canal in Florida, a US medical examiner has concluded.

The body of Yovy Suarez Jimenez, 28, was found in the town of Sunrise on Wednesday – a day after she disappeared while jogging near the canal.

"The alligator attacked her… bit her… and pulled her into the water," medical examiner Dr Joshua Perper said.

A hunt was under way to find and kill the reptile, local officials said.

Dr Perper – who performed the autopsy – said that the alligator "basically amputated" the woman’s arms, and bit her on the leg and back.

"She died extremely fast. By the time she was pulled into the water she was already dead," the medical examiner at Broward County said.

No-one is believed to have seen the attack, but some people saw a woman matching Ms Jimenez’s description dangling her feet over the canal’s edge, reports in the local media say.

The alligator is estimated to be up to 10ft (three metres) long, based on the woman’s injuries.

There have been 25 fatal alligator attacks in Florida since 1948, according to Florida’s wildlife officials.

The Beatles have lost their court challenge against Apple Computer over its iPod and iTunes download service.

Sir Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr and the families of George Harrison and John Lennon control the Apple Corps label.
They claimed the US firm broke a deal aimed at ensuring there would not be two Apples in the music industry.

But Mr Justice Anthony Mann ruled that the computer company used the Apple logo in association with its store, not the music, and so was not in breach.

The ruling means iPods and iTunes will still be able to carry the Apple name and logo.

An Indian octogenarian has reportedly spent half a century living in a tree after a tiff with his wife.

Gayadhar Parida took to staying in a mango tree after a quarrel over a 'tiny issue' with his wife 50 years ago, reports Mumbai Mirror.

He moved trees when his first tree house was destroyed in a storm but he has never moved back into his home in Kuligaon, Orissa.

Mr Parida, 83,said: "I had come to stay after disturbances with my wife. But after some days, I felt spiritualism had developed within my body."

The paper said he spends most of his time in the company of poisonous snakes and comes down only to drink water from a pool.

Mr Parida accepts food offered to him by family members but no amount of coaxing has convinced him to leave his tree house.

His son Babula, 55, said: "I have gone to the garden several times to woo him back but he vehemently refused to return. Hurt and dejected, I had to come back home."
