A second body has been discovered in the waters of Dallas-Fort Worth, marking a grim week for the metroplex as officials grapple with the aftermath of recent storms and flooding.

Fort Worth police were called out to the Trinity River near Interstate 30 and Riverside Drive Monday morning upon a grisly find: an unidentified body floating in the murky waters. The Tarrant County Medical Examiner's Office is now vested with the task of uncovering the identity of the deceased, and the cause of death, this was reported by The Dallas Express.

The chilling occurrence follows a similar incident where a man's body was discovered at White Rock Creek on April 21. Before his discovery, a woman had alerted the authorities about the man's disappearance after he reportedly attempted to ford the creek on April 20. Details surrounding his death are still scarce, and the police remain tight-lipped about why he was trying to cross the rapid waters, according to The Dallas Express.

North Texas has recently been ravaged by stormy weather, leading to power outages, a spike in traffic mishaps, and critically high water levels in creeks and rivers. The National Weather Service cited the Dallas Love Field Airport area as having the highest measured rainfall, with a significantly drenched 4.22 inches as per a report by WFAA.

As Fort Worth police continue their investigation, there has been no official statement linking the body found in Trinity River to the harsh weather conditions. Nonetheless, the incidents pose a somber reminder of nature’s unforgiving force, especially, amidst record-breaking rainfall that swept the region.
