An investigation into a disabled vehicle led to the discovery of two bodies Monday morning – a 4-year-old found dead in her home and her father found dead in the Caloosahatchee.

Deputies were dispatched to the area of the Cape Coral Bridge for a disabled vehicle blocking the roadway with its hazard lights flashing. They were unable to locate the owner.

A check of the owner’s address, 15400 Sonoma Dr., Fort Myers, revealed a deceased child, later identified as Sophie Medina, the daughter of the vehicle owner, John Ernest Medina, 34.

John Medina body was later recovered in the water by the Lee County Sheriff’s Office Dive Team.
