Authorities identify woman found dead in pond at Braintree park

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

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

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

Chin had gone to the park to meet a family member to go on a walk, investigators said. That family member then alerted police when Chin didn’t arrive at a planned location.

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

An investigation is ongoing.
