Woman found dead in Braintree Park Pond identified as 79-year-old Weymouth resident

A woman found dead in a pond in Braintree on Monday has been identified, officials announced Tuesday.

Mulain Chin, 79, of Weymouth, went to the park with a family member so they could take a walk together, said David Traub, communications director for Norfolk District Attorney Michael Morrissey.

When Chin did not arrive at the expected meeting point, the family member reported it to a Braintree police officer who was at the park.

Chin was later discovered in shallow water near a small bridge in the park, Traub said.

The medical examiner’s office performed an autopsy on the body Tuesday and found no signs of foul play in the death, Traub said.
