Body in murky pool nets men probation FALL RIVER, Mass., Feb. 7 (UPI) -- Two Massachusetts men were put on probation for a year Tuesday for opening a public pool with water so murky no one saw a body at the bottom for two days. Despite not entering a guilty plea, Brian Shanahan, 60, and Jeff Carter, 37, admitted there were enough facts to convict them of reckless endangerment of a child, the Fall River (Mass.) Herald News reported. The two Department of Conservation and Recreation managers opened the Fall River pool June 27 and 28 even though the water was cloudy. The body of Marie Joseph, 36, was discovered in the pool June 28 -- she had drowned June 26, the newspaper said. An investigation determined Joseph's death was accidental, but District Attorney Sam Sutter said opening the pool under such conditions was a lax and casual adherence of the recreation department's rules. "Mr. Shanahan, on June 27, determined that the pool would be operated by closing the deep end and opening the shallow end," said prosecutor Patrick Bomberg. Carter made the same decision the following day and both men were aware children would be swimming in the murky water, Bomberg added. If the two men remain out of trouble for one year, their cases will be dismissed, District Judge Beverly Cannone ruled.
