A MYSTERY surrounds a body found inside a pickup truck submerged in a canal on Monday night.
The truck was found by a worker in the southwest Miami-Dade area around 9pm, said police.
Divers investigated the scene and entered the water, pulling out one adult, said Miami-Dade Fire Rescue.
The victim was pronounced dead at the scene on Southwest 197th Avenue and 192nd Street.
Police said the body was badly decomposed, suggesting that what led to the body being there occurred several days ago.
