BRAINTREE, MA – A woman was found dead in a Braintree park on Monday, the Norfolk County District Attorney’s Office confirmed to Patch.

Mulain Chin, 79, of Weymouth, was discovered Monday in shallow water near a small bridge at Pond Meadow Park.

Braintree police notified the district attorney’s office of an ongoing investigation at approximately 2:30 p.m., and a state trooper assigned to the district attorney’s office joined Braintree police at the scene.

Officials said Chin went to the park with a family member so everyone could go for a walk. When she didn’t arrive at the expected location, that family member alerted a Braintree police officer who was in the park, which led to the discovery of Chin’s body.

Officials said the circumstances “do not immediately suggest wrongdoing” but more will be known once the office receives information from the coroner.
