He intended to return to the United States at the end of April, but Root's life came to a sudden end three weeks later, due to a crocodile attack while on a wildlife tour of the Limpopo River. He was in the lead dugout canoe when a 13-foot crocodile followed him and tipped it over. It then leapt out of the water, grabbed Root by his neck and shoulders, pulled him under and drowned him. The crocodile which ended Root's life was never found.Parts of his body were found a few days later and cremated.".
