“Officers arrived on scene and were directed by maintenance personnel to the canal,” the spokesperson said. “Officers observed what is believed to be the upper shoulder area and the back of a head floating in the middle of the canal.”
Police said a Broward Sheriff’s Office dive team assisted officers in recovering the body.
Police later identified the woman as 64-year-old Wanda Robinson, who had gone missing Tuesday.
They said there were no “obvious” signs of foul play.
