WESTMORELAND - A woman drowned on Sunday after falling into a brook off the Connecticut River in Westmoreland.

She is from out of state, safety officials said. Her identity is being withheld pending notification of next of kin.
Foul play does not appear to be a factor, however an autopsy is scheduled for today by the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner.
The case is under investigation. Anyone who has further information related to this incident or who witnessed it is encouraged to contact Sgt. Nicholas Haroutunian 603-227-2112 or by email at Nicholas.M.Haroutunian@dos.nh.gov.
