Deputies in Florida say, Erica Bergeron, 49, was found dead on Monday after authorities pulled the car from the pond in Palm Coast.
According to officials, the body of a woman who went missing in Florida last week was found inside a car that was submerged in a pond.
“A vehicle containing a deceased occupant was recovered from a retention pond near Palm Harbor Parkway and Cris Lane. Today, the Medical Examiner’s Office has confirmed the identity of the deceased driver as Erica Bergeron, who had been previously reported missing,” said Flagler County Sheriff’s Office.

The 49-year-old Jacksonville woman was last seen on Apr. 20 at Palm Coast Lanes, a bowling alley on North Old Kings Road, CBS affiliate WKMG-TV.
Officials said Bergeron was traveling northwest on Palm Harbor Parkway, southeast of Cris Lane, when the 2021 gray Toyota Camry she was driving swerved off the road and struck a tree before careening into the pond, per the reports. It is unclear why Bergeron’s car left the roadway.
The medical examiner’s office has confirmed that the body belonged to the missing woman, according to FCSO.
