Jason Scott Headshot

A lifeguard at the Lincoln County YMCA in North Carolina was found dead in the facility’s pool early Thursday morning.

The Charlotte Observer reports that a concerned YMCA staff member noticed the pool area, which 21-year-old Yesenia Jimenez Linares was supposed to open, was locked. After attempts to contact or find Linares were unsuccessful, police were called with reports of a missing person. Police arrived on the scene, where they discovered Linares in the pool, unresponsive. She was taken to a local hospital, where she was pronounced dead.
