A tragic incident unfolded in Saint-Constant on Montreal’s South Shore where a woman in her 60s was discovered deceased in a residential swimming pool on Wednesday afternoon.
Authorities received a distressing call at 3:45 p.m. alerting them to a body found in a pool at a residence on Vallée Street. Upon their prompt arrival, officers from the Roussillon intermunicipal police force sadly confirmed the woman’s passing.
The coroner has initiated an investigation to uncover the circumstances surrounding the woman’s untimely death, bringing a sense of urgency to the community in Roussillon.
This event serves as a somber reminder of the importance of water safety, especially during the summer months when incidents like these can occur. The recent increase in drownings in Quebec, with 51 reported deaths this year compared to 46 at the same point last year, underscores the need for vigilance and caution around bodies of water.
