A body of a missing two-year-old boy was found inside an alligator's mouth after his mother was found stabbed to death in her apartment.

Taylen Mosley, of St. Petersburg, Florida, was reported missing on Thursday after his mother Pashun Jeffery, 20, was found dead in her Lincoln Shores apartment from stab wounds. 

On Friday evening, Taylen was found dead inside an alligator's mouth in Dell Holmes Park - around 10 miles from his mother's home. Officers confirmed it was the little boy after killing the animal. A medical examiner is determining his cause of death. 

'We didn’t want to find him this way, but at least we can bring some closure to that family now,' Police Chief Anthony Holloway said. 'We are sorry it has had to end this way.' 

Taylen's father Thomas Mosley, 21, has been charged with two counts of first-degree murder.
