Matthew Riggins was just 22-years-old and had been missing for ten days before his body was found, but the reason he encountered the massive animal has left some people unsympathetic.
Riggins was being hunted by police after residents of the lake at Barefoot Bay reported two men acting suspiciously while dressed in black on November 10.
A helicopter and a K9 unit were deployed to track Riggins, and deputies have reported that he called his girlfriend before he jumped a fence and hid in the lake.
