PHOENIX — Remains found Wednesday in a water- and debris-filled canyon in central Arizona are believed to be those of a missing 27-year-old man who’s the 10th and final victim of last weekend’s flash flood, authorities said. Last Saturday’s flash flood at a popular swimming hole along the river in the Tonto National Forest killed nine of Garnica’s extended family including his wife and three young children. Garnica’s wife, Maria Raya-Garcia, their three small children, his mother-in-law, sister-in-law and other relatives were killed in the flood. Just four of the 14 members of the extended family gathered at the swimming hole were rescued after the flood. Officials have said members of the extended family who died in the flood had no warning about the approaching surge of water.
