Authorities say the body of a woman who died in a Massachusetts public pool went undetected for days as swimmers continued to use the pool before the victim was found floating.

The body of Marie Joseph, 36, was discovered by teenagers Tuesday evening in the Vietnam Veterans Swimming Pool in Fall River, Massachusetts, according to Bristol County district attorney's spokesman Gregg Miliote.

Joseph had gone to the pool on Sunday with a 9-year-old neighbor and his family. She collided with the boy while the pair careened down a pool slide, Miliote said.

After the collision, the boy surfaced but the woman did not, he said.

It was not clear Thursday what happened after the collision or whether the boy and his family sought Joseph's whereabouts when they left the pool.

The world is awesome!!

I love how the dude basically says (paraphrasing) "well the filters were checked and the pH levels were checked.. no reason to suspect a body floating around (other than a body floating around)."

One more reason not to visit public pools.... dead people "swimming".

That's just very odd that the Family that she went to the pool with didn't look for her or at least try to look for her. WTF?

Arrest him and charge him with murder.

Sounds like she suffered a concussion that obviously knocked her out into unconsciousness she probably could have been saved if the boy had actually looked for her or alerted someone.

Actually the kid apparently told the lifeguards and they ignored him...
