Authorities were investigating after a car was found submerged in a canal in Tamarac with a person’s body inside on Monday.
The discovery was made in the area of Southgate Boulevard and University Drive.
Broward Sheriff’s Office officials confirmed deputies and the dive team responded around noon and found the submerged car.
The preliminary investigation revealed that a deceased person was inside, officials said.
Traffic homicide detectives responded to investigate. No other information was immediately known.
Authorities have yet to confirm the identity of the body. Neighbors in the area said 28-year-old Rondell Edwards was recently reported missing and his cellphone last pinged near the canal.
For the last three days, Edwards’ family has been going door-to-door looking for the man, neighbors said.
“Apparently he wasn’t from around here and he took a wrong turn,” a resident said. “If you don’t live in this area, you don’t even know that there’s a canal over there.”
