Florida family finds unknown dead woman in their SUV

A family in Florida was shaken up after they found the body of a woman in their new SUV.

The woman, who wasn’t identified, was spotted Sunday morning by a friend of the Daytona Beach family, and police are treating the death as “suspicious,” the Daytona Beach News-Journal reported.

“My fear of dead people is so great I am still shaking,” Minnie Coleman said. She told police she didn’t know the dead woman.

Coleman said the SUV, which was bought three weeks previous, was parked in their driveway Saturday night.

“I have never seen her before and I have never seen something like that before, especially since she had the seat belt on,” she said.

Police do not yet know how the woman died or how she ended up in the SUV.
