Divers from a South Florida sheriff’s office have recovered the body of woman from a car that was submerged in a lake in a retirement community.

Deputies and divers recovered a woman’s body from the Toyota Corolla late Thursday.

Oglesby says detectives are working on identifying the woman. The medical examiner will determine the cause of death.

Deerfield Beach is north of Fort Lauderdale.
