Authorities identify woman found dead in Braintree Park pond – Boston 25 News

BRAINTREE, Mass. — Authorities on Tuesday identified a woman who was found dead in a pond at a Braintree park Monday afternoon.

According to the Norfolk District Attorney’s Office, officers responding to a report of a body in a pond in Meadow Park around 2:30 p.m. discovered a person in shallow water near a small bridge.

The victim, 79-year-old Mulain Chin from Weymouth, was pronounced dead.

“The circumstances at the scene did not immediately suggest a crime,” the DA’s office said in a statement. “More will be known after we receive information from the coroner.”

Chin went to the park to take a walk with a family member, investigators said. That family member then alerted police when Chin failed to arrive at the scheduled location.

An investigation is ongoing.
