Search and rescue team members resumed their search efforts on Sunday, and LCSO confirmed they have found a man’s body.
LARIMER COUNTY, Colo. — The Larimer County Sheriff’s Office (LCSO) confirmed Sunday they are recovering a man’s body found during their search of a recently flooded area of Poudre Canyon.
It is the second body found since the area was flooded Tuesday night. Two other people are still missing.
According to LCSO, four Larimer County Search and Rescue team members accompanied by three dogs worked with heavy equipment operators to sift through large piles of debris for signs of the missing people Saturday, but did not find them.

The search resumed Sunday with a larger group of search and rescue team members, as well as members of the Larimer County Regional All-Hazards/Crisis Response Team. LCSO said.
Water levels have decreased dramatically, LCSO said, and crews planned to revisit areas near Black Hollow Road that were previously submerged.
On Tuesday a mudslide near Black Hollow Road, west of the community of Rustic, sent a large amount of debris into the canyon, destroying six homes and damaging another, according to the sheriff’s office. One woman was found deceased in the flood. The four victims are all related, LCSO said.

Anyone who is caught in a flash flood should leave their vehicle and climb to the highest ground possible, the sheriff’s office said, and should not try to outrun or drive across floodwaters.
