Orange County Sheriff Jerry Demings says searchers have recovered the body of a 2-year-old Nebraska boy snatched by an alligator at Walt Disney World.

The boy was attacked Tuesday night as he waded in shallow water at the edge of the Seven Seas Lagoon at Disney's Grand Floridian resort.

Demings identified the boy as Lane Graves of Elkhorn, Nebraska.

The search team grew to 50 people Wednesday as trappers and divers searched Disney's network of man-made canals, ponds and lakes.

Demings said the body was found ``completely intact,'' just 10 to 15 yards from where the boy was attacked, in about 6 feet of water.

He said they had to use sonar to find the body in the murky water.

The sheriff declined to respond to repeated questions about whether Disney World should clarify its warning signs at the manmade lake.

The beachside warnings say ``no swimming,'' but don't mention the threat of alligators or say even wading is risky.
