Father Finds 24 Year Old Daughter Dead in Swimming Pool

A father returned home to find his 24 year old daughter dead in his swimming pool near Singleton last week. Police are still investigating the mysterious death of this otherwise seemingly healthy young woman, and they have ordered blood tests to determine whether alcohol was a factor in her decease.

The police believed that the woman could have been in the pool for quite some time, as far back as the night before she was discovered. Her father told police that she was alone in the house the night before. Sergeant Peter Robertson, acting crime manager for Hunter Valley, commented that "It is very unusual for a 24-year-old to simply have a medical condition where they cannot get themselves out of a pool."

Police have cordoned off the area and the forensic team is collecting evidence for the investigation. In addition, the sergeant will need to wait for the full results of the autopsy before they can determine for sure how long she was in the pool for.
