Swimmers at reopened pools say facilities seem clean and safe
"Boy wishes he could have saved swimmer" July 02, 2011|By David Abel and Brian Ballou, Globe Staff
FALL RIVER - Nobody would listen, the boy complained.
The mother of the 9-year-old who reportedly tried to alert two lifeguards separately about the apparent drowning of Marie Joseph at a state-run pool here Sunday said in an interview yesterday that her son is despondent and keeps saying he wishes he were bigger so he could have saved the woman.
"He's sad because he saw the last moments of Marie's life, and when he tried to do something, nobody listened," said Danyelle Hunt, 30, standing in the parking lot of her apartment complex, about 2 miles from the pool....
Investigators said the body of Joseph, 36, was submerged at the bottom of the 12-foot deep end of the pool from the time of her drowning Sunday afternoon until Tuesday evening, when her body surfaced as a result of "natural postmortem changes of the human body."
That means it was DECOMPOSING!
I'm getting out of the water now.
