About 3 hours before Matarese's discovery Saturday, the woman had been found unconscious in cold water in her bathtub. She apparently overdosed on pills, police said. Police officers and emergency medical technicians were unable to detect any signs of life. Police concluded she was an apparent suicide victim and her body was taken to Matarese's funeral home. The state Department of Public Health is investigating to determine whether emergency workers acted properly.
People have to understand that cold, stiff, blue people can be resuscitated.
