ST. LOUIS—A second person has been found dead after record rains swamped the St. Louis region earlier this week, police said.
A man’s body was found Wednesday about a mile from his abandoned semi-trailer truck, which appeared to have been submerged in floodwaters that hit the area, the Hazelwood Police Department said in a Facebook post.
