A homeowner went out into her backyard Sunday morning and saw a body floating in a canal in Lauderhill.
The discovery was made in the 4800 block of Northwest 67th Avenue. The homeowner immediately called 911.
"It was very difficult for me to look at just someone who was deceased, just bloated and gray and floating in the water," said the homeowner, who did not want to be identified. "It was very heavy."
Just before 10 a.m., she said her husband went outside to do work on their pool when all of a sudden, he started screaming.
