Mark Ukaere, an African-American pilot was involved in a plane crash in the Florida Everglades last week.

Mark, who had reportedly taken the aircraft without permission, was the only one onboard the flight when it crashed into a swamp.

A video captured from a WPLG10 helicopter flying over the crash site shows wreckage from the plane crash site and also the body of Mark lying next to a huge alligator. The crew inside the helicopter witnessed the alligator eating the pilot’s corpse and it was aired live on TV, though Mark’s body was blurred.

Mark was a licensed pilot who was taking lessons to obtain an advanced certification. He was last seen on Saturday night leaving Miami Executive Airport but when he did not come to church the next day, his roommates feared he might have been killed in a crash.

His body was found on Wednesday night, at about 9:30 p.m. in the gator-infested Everglades in Miami, Florida. The single-engine Cessna 152 was found in an area seven miles west of Homestead. National Transportation Safety Board investigators arrived at the scene Thursday morning and are investigating the incident.
