Body found in Broward Everglades canal identified as Hialeah man from Mexico
Authorities are releasing new details on a body that surfaced in a Florida Everglades canal early Thursday morning. Broward County officials say Ramiro Gomez-Diaz, of Hialeah, was discovered hours after they found his car submerged underwater. Deputies responded to reports of a sunken vehicle near Krome Avenue and U.S. Highway 27 around 9 p.m. on Wednesday and found the 27-year-old's 2007 Chevy Tahoe underwater, the Broward Sheriff's Office told the Miami Herald. The agency's dive team, missing persons unit, marine patrol and drone unit were deployed to locate the SUV but saw no trace of the missing driver. A family member was the first to spot a lifeless Gomez-Dias after returning to the canal early Thursday morning, BSO reported in a statement released Friday afternoon. A GoFundMe page for the Hialeah man said he was originally from Chiapas, Mexico and migrated to the United States 'with dreams of building a better future.' The posting said proceeds would help pay for his funeral and transporting him back to his hometown in Mexico. Marshall Jones, owner of Mack's Fish Camp, an air boat tour business located on the same stretch of canal, was the first to phone authorities. He guided rescue crews to Gomez-Diaz's SUV after spotting tire tracks on Wednesday night. 'I saw fresh skid marks and disturbance on the side of the levy and bubbles in the canal,' Jones told the Miami Herald. An initial investigation by BSO's Traffic Homicide Unit showed that 'for unknown reasons, the vehicle veered off the roadway and into the canal.' after tire marks. The agency said it will continue looking into how the sunken car and its driver ended up in the canal.
