A woman's body was found at the bottom of a public swimming pool in Fall River,
MA after going unnoticed for two days. She was at the 12-foot-deep Vietnam Veterans Swimming Pool. Although the pool was open to the public, its permit had expired Dec. 31. Health inspectors visited the pool and reported that the water was cloudy and the head of
the American Lifeguard Association told ABC News that cloudy water likely played a "major role" in the body's apparently going unnoticed. Lifeguards should always be able to see the main drain cover.
