In a somber discovery in Houston's White Oak Bayou, the Houston Police Department has reported the recovery of a man's body from a vehicle that was submerged in the water. The car was located in the 2200 block of Paterson after authorities received a notification around 2 p.m. on the preceding day, as per information released by FOX 26 Houston.

Pulled from the depths by a dive team, the vehicle and its tragic contents were discovered after a passerby observed the vehicle in the bayou and contacted the police. It's currently unknown to authorities, who mentioned to investigators, how long the car had been marooned beneath the water's surface according to details provided by Click2Houston.

The Houston Police have not yet determined the exact cause of death. The case awaits further examination as the Medical Examiner's office embarks on an investigation to uncover the circumstances that led to the man's demise. Further details surrounding the incident remain scarce as investigators tackle the unfolding situation.
