A 52-year-old Harrington woman apparently drowned in a backyard swimming pool Saturday morning, state police said.
Charlotte Pritchard was found by her daughter about 11 a.m. at a home in the 2000 block of Brownsville Road in Harrington.
Police said Pritchard had been in the pool for about 45 minutes before being discovered. She was unconscious, and her daughter tried to pull her from the pool, police said.
Paramedics came to the home and began CPR on Pritchard before taking her to Milford Memorial Hospital, where she was pronounced dead.
The Medical Examiner’s Office will perform an autopsy to determine the exact cause of death.

Ms. Pritchard was a teacher at Lake Forest High School. The school and community are in mourning. She will be very missed.
