It takes 2 days to find a dead person in a public pool...

So this woman was watching a nine year old and nobody thought it was strange she didnt come back from the pool with the kid???

While tragic, I find it strange that they say it could have been missed because of the turbdity of the water...I have never seen a pool with turbidity issues. If it did have those issues, that pool should have been shut down in the first place.

Maybe turbid isn't the word he means..surface agitation would also obscure what's beneath. Just trying to understand this myself.
 
Not every pool is rectangular concrete box. In my town growing up we had a pool that was just hole lined with sand. Because of the sand and the depth visibility was very limited.
 
Good thing it's not this pool. D:

Was there no lifeguard? I've never heard of a public pool being open that wasn't staffed by a lifeguard. When I used to volunteer as a lifeguard, the beginning and end of the shift began with an inspection of the pool. WTH was going on there?
 
Fall River Police Chief Daniel Racine said during a news conference today that a 9-year-old boy that Joseph was watching at the pool on Sunday told police she had an accident on a water slide.

Racine said the boy stated that ‘‘Marie unexpectedly slid down the slide landing on top of him. He further stated he believed Marie went under the water and did not surface.’’

This makes no sense. So this kid's babysitter disappears, he thinks she's in the water, and no one even bothers to look for her? Maybe the kid got mad and offed her.
 
Fall River police Lieutenant Roger LaFleur said in a statement that officers responded to Veteran’s Memorial Swimming Pool at Lafayette Park at about 10 p.m. on Tuesday and pulled Joseph from the water. She was taken to an area hospital where she was later pronounced dead.

lol
 
I heard more about this story on the way into work today.

Evidently, a few sanitation officials visited the pool on Monday and Tuesday.

How the $%^& did sanitation officials, lifeguards, and other staff not see a dead body? More importantly, the kid says he "saw her go under." How did he get home? Why didn't anybody do anything?

Something is really amiss here, there's no way we have all the facts.

This is what I want to know.

"Welp... She's probably dead. I'll walk home I guess."

Not to mention that it appears to be a very popular and quite crowded pool! Assuming the pool was open for these three days how is it that none of the swimmers noticed a body in the pool 😕
 
The Herald News, a local newspaper, ran a photo in Tuesday’s paper showing swimmers in the water on Monday.

People were swimming with a corpse and did not notice she was dead?

This is kind of like that story where the fellow died on a train and no one noticed he was dead for like a day.
