NEW YORK – A woman was killed and another was injured while swimming in a pool in the Bronx, police said.
It happened at a building located at Palisade Avenue near Kapock Street at around 1:30 p.m. Monday.
Police say a tree fell into the pool.
One woman, 50, died at the scene. The other, 60, was rushed to a hospital in stable condition.
It’s the second death due to a falling tree or limb since Saturday.
On Saturday morning, a tree branch fell at the Reinaldo Salgado playground on Madison Street and Patchen Avenue in Bed-Stuy. In that incident, a branch about 40′ up fell and fatally struck 35-year-old Jared Richardson, who was sitting on a bench in the playground. He was rushed to the hospital, where he later died.
