The incident occurred at around 9:45 Thursday, as Mr Limbaugh enjoyed a vacation in the Sunshine State, where locals witnessed a 12-foot Cuban crocodile devour the 60-year-old conservative radio mouthpiece.
"It was one of the most horrible things I have ever seen," said Everglades resident, Josh Barton. "One minute I was lining up for an autograph when this huge croc came out of nowhere and violently began chewing on Rush's legs and face. The worst part was watching Mr Limbaugh get completely digested over the course of an hour."
It took almost 45 minutes for crocodile handlers to arrive on the scene, by which time Mr Limbaugh was already 75% digested.
"When we arrived there was nothing we could do for him," said professional handler, Micky Hagen. "In cases like this, the victim can quite often remain alive in the crocodile's stomach until slowly suffocating over time. It's quite possibly one of the worst ways to die."
Meanwhile, conservative author and commentator Ann Coulter is being treated in hospital this morning after experiencing an allergic reaction to a bag of pistachio nuts.
