WARWICK, R.I. (AP) — Authorities in Warwick are investigating another apparent drowning in town.

Police say officers responded to beach area on Melbourn Road at about 4 p.m. Wednesday for a medical emergency.

Responding officers found an unresponsive female who had been pulled from the water.

Life-saving measures were performed at the scene before she was taken to Kent Hospital where she was pronounced dead.

Police on Thursday identified the victim as Bauk Keo, 50, of Providence, and said in a statement that the cause and manner of her death are pending examination results from the State of Rhode Island Medical Examiner’s office.

Two people, including a 10-year-old girl, died in the waters off a different area of Warwick late last month.
