CLOSED: Spider ID help please

Dunedin, FL

I live in Florida, the Tampa Bay region on the Gulf. Found this large spider in my house. Totally freaked out. I have arachniphobia so pictures may be shake as I was shaking like a leaf even taking pictures of it dead. I don't believe it to be a wolf of brown recluse. Please help so I know if there's another it won't kill me in my sleep, as I got no sleep last night trying to search photos that literally had me vomiting and scared to sleep cause I'm scared. Ty

it's neither a wolf nor brown recluse, and not a black widow.

I'm not good that way, only able to rule out those few.
Fishing spider?

Looks like a male huntsman/giant crab spider (family Sparassidae) - harmless to humans.
