Body found in public pool 2 days after victim drowned

FALL RIVER (FOX25 / MyFoxBoston.com) - The body of a Fall River woman was discovered floating in a state run pool late Tuesday night, two days after she apparently drowned in that same pool.

Police say lifeguards were on duty and people were swimming in the Veterans Memorial pool at Lafayette Park Sunday, Monday and Tuesday and it appears no one noticed the dead body.

Investigators identified the body as 36-year-old Marie Joseph.

Police say Joseph was watching her 9-year-old neighbor at the pool on Sunday when she apparently had an accident sliding down a waterside.

Family friends tell FOX25 the little boy told lifeguards that she did not come up from above water but no action was taken.

The Bristol County DA would not confirm if the woman’s body was in the water for two days, but did call the set of circumstances "unbelievable" and said the death is still under investigation.

Fall River Mayor William Flanagan says health inspectors visited the pool on Monday and Tuesday and inspected the facilities and apparently did not see a body either. Those inspectors have been placed on administrative leave pending the outcome of an investigation.

The Department of Conservation and Recreation (DCR), who runs the pool, has since closed over 20 of their deepwater pools until further notice.

DCR has also placed the entire staff of the pool on administrative leave.

According to friends, Marie Joseph has left behind five children and lived in an apartment a mile from the pool.

that is a bit hard to swallow

There was a poll on the link that asked if you believe the story and most people said 'no'. Seems hard to believe. At first I thought the pool floor would be a dark color and the woman was wearing the same color, the reason why the didn't see her, but not so. The pool floor is whitish. Then I saw that the pool had a weird angle to it and the water was murky... but still seems incredible.

Wait, are you two doubting this happened (the news story is false)? Or just can't figure out how it could happen?

I'm doubting that this could happen.

So you suspect the story might be false?

I don't think the story is false... but there are some serious issues with this whole mess.

If the boy really did tell the lifeguards, why didn't they do anything?

Why didn't any of her 5 children or anyone else report her missing in the 2 days since she was last seen at the pool?

I was a lifeguard for years, and I simply can't imagine even having a pool open if you can't see the bottom. What a mess!

A 9 year old wouldn't just let it go, either. The woman who was supposed to be watching him at the pool doesn't come up after hitting the water, he tells someone and then what, just goes home, skipping all the way?

It doesn't make sense.

Yeah...something doesn't jive.

The lil boy drowned her, hid her body, told the lifeguards who upon looking for her came up empty handed. and then returned the body two days later.

Seriously though, the original story doesn't pass the smell test.

Its hitting the mainstream media now so a big old bright light will be shining on this story. Things don't add up though. I saw where someone said that its possible for a body to stay submerged for days before floating to the surface. But shit the pool was opened for like 3 days before they found her??? and had been inspected by the health department twice.

Weird.

That's happened before, I remember an article about a body floating around a busy pool for a while.

But what about when the pool wasn't busy, when it was closing up for the day either of the two days?
