The family of the 2-year-old boy killed by an alligator at Florida’s Walt Disney World last month say they do not plan to sue the entertainment giant. In a statement Wednesday, Matt and Melissa Graves, of Elkhorn, Nebraska, said their family is “broken” by toddler Lane’s death, and that they have established the Lane Thomas Foundation as a way to “share with others the unimaginable love Lane etched in our hearts.” They asked for continued privacy and emphasized their need to focus on healing. Lane was snatched by a gator while wading in the lagoon at Grand Floridian Resort and Spa. Although the beach featured “no swimming” signs, it did not warn visitors about gators in the water.
