81-year-old Porter Ranch woman found dead in home spa

An elderly woman was found dead today by Los Angeles city firefighters who pulled her from the bottom of a spa in Porter Ranch, authorities said.

Relatives had called authorities about 2:09 p.m. to report that they were worried because they had not heard from the 81-year-old woman. She has not been identified.

Rescue workers arrived at the woman’s home in the 19000 block of Nashville Street and found her in the above-ground whirlpool, authorities said.

“She was sadly beyond our help and declared deceased at the scene,” said Fire Department spokesman Brian Humphrey.

something sounds fishy here.Why would the "relatives"call police for something as usuall as not ansewering the phone or door?this may be a case of a family member wanting here property.

I agree with the previous post.....Why would they not visit the home and see if the elderly woman was home. Its so sad to cases such as this one more and more, more so amongst elderly ppl.

I am disgusted at the comments by davidozone and Monique. Do you people have no decency??? A family member of the victim just ran upon your comments, which you apparently posted without even using up a single brain cell. Shame on you for jumpinmg to such conclusions, and for having not an ounce of respect for the family.

By the way.... you should consider utilzing spellcheck and grammar check next time you post something on the internet. My two-year old could probably write something more meaningful than you two.
