LAKE BUENA VISTA (CBS NEWS) -- The body of a 2-year-old boy who was dragged underwater by an alligator at an upscale resort at Disney World in Florida has been found, the local sheriff said Wednesday afternoon.

The boy's family from Nebraska was on the beach of the Seven Seas Lagoon at about 9:20 p.m. Tuesday when he was snatched and the father tried to fight the alligator but failed to free him.

By Wednesday morning, with no sightings of the boy, Orange County Sheriff Jerry Demings said, "There's no question" the boy had perished.
