Body of Marie Joseph Found at Bottom of Fall River MA Pool Two Days After she Drowned, People Even Swam in Water with Dead Body

Marie Joseph's body lay at bottom of public pool in Fall River, Ma. for two days, while people swam in the water.

How could the body of a drowned woman, Marie Joseph, lay at the bottom of a public pool for two days without anyone noticing? To make matters worse, people swam in the Veteran's Memorial Pool, which is located in Fall River, Ma. Joseph's body was not discovered until Tuesday evening when some youngsters jumped the fence to take an illicit evening dip, the Daily Mail said. The nine year old boy, who was reportedly with Joseph, told a life guard she had fallen into the pool, but was ignored, the Daily Mail said. Heads should be rolling at the local government department overseeing the pool.

There's another sad twist to this story. According to CBS Boston, the mayor of Fall River, William A. Flanagan, said “that health inspectors from the City visited the pool on Monday and on Tuesday and inspected the facilities.” This was during the time that body was believed to be in the water. As I said, head should be rolling over this tragedy. It is quite obvious the inspectors didn't do their jobs to the best of their ability.
