A body was found in a trailer in North Carolina, surrounded by floodwaters from Hurricane Florence.

Lt. Sean Swain, a spokesman for the Cumberland County Sheriff’s Office, told the Fayetteville Observer that deputies could see the man’s body through a trailer window but couldn’t retrieve the body because of the swift water surrounding the trailer.
