But hey. Who would expect to find a corpse in a pool? Must have been hard to spot. (www.cnn.com)

ACK! I made the mistake of reading the comments! -- nm - ty97 Jul 1, 08:20 1

Gawker commenters noted that depending on intensity that sunlight reflects off the surface and other refractive properties of light, it's entirely - Hotkiss Jul 1, 08:19 1
- at the pool where I swim they vacuum the bottom every night. they would never miss something like that. -- nm - loosilu Jul 1, 08:20
I need to know how hot it was before I can judge. nm - Dignan Jul 1, 08:16 4
- The woman, or the weather? -- nm - JaxSean Jul 1, 08:18 1
  - well, she should have been plenty moist. nm -- nm - groiny Jul 1, 08:20
- Because it's Dignan, my mind went to the "sexy" connotation of "hot" before the temperature connotation. -- nm - nubby, grit eater Jul 1, 08:17 1
  - Obviously. nm - Dignan Jul 1, 08:18
Days? Bones and CSI tell me that's unlikely. The corpse would have exploded. -- nm - Beryllium (iPhone) Jul 1, 08:16
yeah, pool staff...fired. How do you close a pool with someone floating in it? -- nm - oblique Jul 1, 08:16 9
- It probably wasn't floating. -- nm - mara Jul 1, 08:16 8
  - the article says they found it when it floated. (this takes a couple of days of decomp) - loosilu Jul 1, 08:16 7
    - Obvie. I meant when they missed it. -- nm - mara Jul 1, 08:23
    - I'm not sure that's better. "Hey, what's that body shaped lump at the bottom of the pool?" -- nm - Reagen Jul 1, 08:17 5
      - I swim several times a week. Trust me someone would have seen a body. People complain about a bandaid in the deep end. -- nm - loosilu Jul 1, 08:18 4
        
        I would have spotted it instantly with my perfect color acuity. nm - Dignan Jul 1, 08:19
        
        I mean to say, they would see it in the pool where I swim. Either this place has BAD maintenance, or the water is unbelievably cloudy, or something. - loosilu Jul 1, 08:19 1
        
        hard to see under the layer of moss at the top. nm -- nm - groiny Jul 1, 08:20
        
        apparently not. nm -- nm - groiny Jul 1, 08:19

- The part weirder than not finding it is the part about how she died. - TFox Jul 1, 08:18 4
  - This is the kind of article I no longer give any creedence to. A few days later we'll find out about all the inaccuracies (or never hear of again).. -- nm - mara Jul 1, 08:24 2
    - This pool is maybe 10 miles from my house, so when they crack the case, I'll try to update for you. :) -- nm - TFox Jul 1, 08:25 1
      - you are now a suspect. nm -- nm - groiny Jul 1, 08:26
  - this. I just read it, and they obviously saw them hit, so you'd think when she didn't come up, or go home with them, they'd ... uh ... notice. -- nm - JaxSean Jul 1, 08:21
dude. -- nm - kare Jul 1, 08:14
how many people swam in a pool with a corpse in it? -- nm - loosilu Jul 1, 08:13
