Lane Graves Parents Explain Why They Will Not Sue Disney

“Melissa and I are broken.”

The parents who lost their two-year-old son, Lane Graves, in an alligator attack at Orlando’s Walt Disney World last month are not planning to sue the resort.

On Wednesday, Matt and Melissa Graves released a statement: “Melissa and I are broken. We will solely be focused on the future health of our family and will not be pursuing a lawsuit against Disney.”

Lane Graves was playing near the water of Disney’s Seven Seas Lagoon on June 14, when an alligator snatched him. The toddler’s body was found one day later. According to the medical examiner, the boy died from drowning and traumatic injuries.

Following the toddler’s death, Disney released a statement saying: “There are no words to convey the profound sorrow we feel for the family and their unimaginable loss. We are devastated and heartbroken by this tragic accident and are doing what we can to help them during this difficult time.”
