A person was found dead inside a car that was submerged in a canal in Tamarac on Monday afternoon, the Broward Sheriff’s Office said.
The Broward Sheriff’s Office Dive Team and deputies responded to the call in the area of North University Drive and Southgate Boulevard, along with Coral Springs Fire Rescue, Tamarac Fire Rescue and Coral Springs Police, said Carey Codd, a Sheriff’s Office spokesperson.
Coral Springs Fire Rescue responded to the scene about noon. Deputy Chief Mike Moser said crews were told the car had possibly been in the canal overnight, so they did not send rescue divers to the scene.
It appeared that a bumper was visible from the water, according to the information fire rescue received from a caller, Moser said.
Traffic Homicide Unit detectives are investigating. Additional information has not been released.
