Prince George's County police are investigating the death of a woman whose body was found in the swimming pool of a Fort Washington area home yesterday morning. Investigators said it appears the woman drowned.
A police spokeswoman said a resident of the home in the 100 block of West Farmington Road called authorities about 8:30 a.m. to report the incident. The woman's body was pulled from the water, and she was pronounced dead at the scene.
The resident told authorities that he knew the woman, Cpl. Diane Richardson said. The woman's body was taken to the Maryland medical examiner's office in Baltimore to determine the cause of death.
Her name is being withheld until relatives are notified.
