ORLANDO (CBSMiami/AP) — Private family services will be held this week for a two year old boy killed by an alligator at Disney World in Orlando.

A vigil service for Lane Graves is set for 3 p.m. Monday at St. Patrick's Catholic Church in Omaha, Nebraska. The funeral is scheduled to begin at 10 a.m. Tuesday, also at St. Patrick's.

Lane was pulled into the water by the gator last Tuesday evening despite the frantic efforts of his father. His body was recovered Wednesday.

An autopsy showed the boy died from drowning and traumatic injuries.

The beach at Disney's Grand Floridian Resort and Spa is across a lake from the Magic Kingdom. It had "no swimming" signs but no warning about alligators. The company added alligator warning signs on Friday.
