DELRAY BEACH, Fla. - Three suitcases with human remains were found in a body of water in South Florida, according to police.

Detectives found a suitcase in the water that had human remains inside. Shortly after, officials found two more suitcases also containing human remains inside, the Delray Beach Police Department said. They were found along the Intracoastal at Southeast 7th Avenue and Casuarina Road.
