Woman Found Dead in Pool Identified

Police say no signs of foul play were discovered and that paramedics were unable to revive the 53-year-old woman Saturday morning.

A Long Beach resident has been identified as the woman found dead in a swimming pool at a Hermosa Beach property Saturday morning, according a Hermosa Beach police statement.

Trina Marie Heard-Broughton, 53, was found floating in a pool in the 2100 block of Loma Drive around 8 a.m. Hermosa paramedics were unable to revive her and she was pronounced dead at the scene.

Heard-Broughton was visiting the homeowner, who was a friend, and had spent the night.

Freedom is based on a sure identity, that I know who I am, but more importantly WHOSE I am. WhenRead More the LORD sent Moses to deliver His people, that was the beginning of their liberty. They were a particular people to the LORD, whose name is better understand as "He who was, is, and always will be." Not a god made of stone or wood, but the One who made, makes, and evermore makes and gives to us: the LORD took Israel by the hand and led them from bondage to slavery. Not who you are, but whose you are, makes all the difference between bondage and liberty: "For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father." (Romans 8: 15) Have you been adopted yet? "
