Coral Springs Police Department Sgt. Carla Kmiotek said “it’s possible they were under the water over an hour.”
Two men discovered the 31-year-old woman and her 5-year-old daughter floating in the water at 1225 Riverside Drive, around 3:30 p.m. on Sunday, and began administering CPR until rescue crews arrived.
