FALL RIVER (CBS) — Several investigations are underway following a number of strange twists in the drowning death of a Fall River woman. The woman’s body was believed to be in the public pool in Fall River for days before it was noticed.

On Thursday, Fall River’s mayor revealed “that health inspectors from the City visited the pool on Monday and on Tuesday and inspected the facilities,” which was during the time that body of Marie Joseph was believed to be in the water.

According to officials, the inspectors tested the pool Tuesday, and noted in a report that the water was “cloudy.”

Joseph was at the pool on Sunday and hadn’t been seen since. The pool was open to the public Monday and Tuesday with lifeguards, none of whom noticed the body under 12 feet of water.

It wasn’t until Tuesday night, when some kids broke into the Veteran’s Memorial swimming pool and found Joseph’s body floating in the pool.

The mayor said Thursday that those city inspectors who visited the pool have been placed on administrative leave. The entire pool staff has also been placed on leave by the state.

Investigators have said that, on Sunday, 36-year-old Joseph went down a slide with a 9-year-old boy and vanished.

“We’re not certain about anything other than the fact that we have a death and that this person was at the pool, and what took place with respect to the slide. Everything beyond that is absolutely under investigation,” said Samuel Sutter, the Bristol District Attorney.

A Government Pool Inspector misses a dead body in the pool despite two visits.

Just imagine what your Government Health Care providers are going to miss no matter how many times they see you.

This might sound odd but the "A" rating restaurants I often get sick in the "C" and "B" rating i am fine. I am sensitive to bad food.

as the body rots, gases form that lead it to float

OMG!! The inspectors should have CLOSED the POOL because of it's Cloudiness and put the needed chemicals in it to get it clear!!

WHO swims in a cloudy pool????? NO ONE in their right mind.

“health inspectors from the City”
Fools, unionists, incompetents, dingle berries on the hind of humanity, evil as Satan.”

Excuse me, but I know many Environmental Health Specialists (aka Health Inspectors) who are dedicated hard working protectors of the public health. Many (like myself) are conservatives.

Who would want to swim in cloudy water with hundreds of strangers?

If the water was cloudy why didn’t the inspectors question maintenance people and staff as to why it appeared that way?

I swam in lakes my entire boyhood, and you couldn’t see more than an inch below the surface.

I have no idea how things are where you live but where I live city inspectors are not responsible for keeping other peoples pool clean, much less pour chemicals into others pool to make it pretty.

I have a hard time understanding a body being in a pool with crowds of swimmers and is only found by some trespassers at night.

But then again it's Fall River.

Not to be disgusting but.. corpses usually do sink for a while before bobbing back up to the surface when noxious gasses build up. I wouldn’t be shocked if someone didn’t notice a pale corpse under 12 feet of water.
