Alabama man found dead after Texas floods: Search continues for missing wife, 5-year-old granddaughter
Eddie Santana Sr. is the latest member of a family of four to be recovered after deadly flooding in Texas last week caused them to disappear, according to an Alabama news station.
According to Fox10 News, a family member confirmed that Eddie’s body was found on Friday.
Eddie, a 69-year-old from Mobile, was staying at a riverside cabin in Kerrville when he was swept away along with his wife, Ileana Santana, 6-year-old granddaughter, Mila Rose Santana, and Mila’s parents, Camille Santana and Eddie Santana Jr.
Eddie Jr. was found alive and discharged from a hospital on July 6.
Camille’s body was found on July 8 by rescuers and she died due to injuries sustained during the flood, according to her brother-in-law Michael Santana.
The search continues to find Ileana and Mila who remain missing a week after the floods began.
The devastating floods caused over 120 people to die.
Sarah Marsh, an eight-year-old girl from Mountain Brook, was among the victims.
