One day after searchers found the body of a 2-year-old boy who had been snatched into the waters of a Disney resort in Orlando, the company is reviewing its policies about warning signs.

"We are conducting a swift and thorough review of all our processes and protocols," read a statement from Walt Disney World Vice President Jacquee Wahler on Thursday. "This includes the number, placement and working of our signage and warnings."

CNN reported Thursday that the company plans to install alligator warning signs near all waterways at Walt Disney World resorts as soon as possible.

 

On Tuesday, Lane Graves of Elkhorn, Neb., was playing in the waters of a lagoon at the Disney Grand Floridian Resort and Spa when an alligator grabbed him and pulled him in. The following afternoon, a dive team found his remains.

Graves was vacationing at the resort with his family. His parents were there at the time of the incident.

The lagoon had signs instructing the public that there was "No Swimming," but it did not have warnings about alligators.
