The body of a 36-year-old woman was pulled from a state-run pool in Fall River Tuesday night, apparently after being in the water since Sunday, prompting the temporary closure of all state-operated deep-water pools in Massachusetts while officials investigate, authorities said.
It was not clear yesterday if any swimmers noticed the woman’s body between Sunday and Tuesday. The Herald News, a local newspaper, ran a photo in Tuesday’s paper showing swimmers in the water on Monday.
Law enforcement officials identified the woman as Marie Joseph of Fall River.
Fall River police Lieutenant Roger LaFleur said in a statement that officers went to Vietnam Veterans Memorial Swimming Pool at Lafayette Park at about 10 p.m. Tuesday and pulled Joseph from the water. She was taken to a hospital where she was later pronounced dead.
You may be asking what were the lifeguards doing when while Marie was floating around the pool? Probably texting. We have distracted students, distracted drivers and even distracted lifeguards. Where you go people are texting. They don't communicate with the people they are with only the people who aren't there. What a world.
