Todays Herald:


Massachusetts officials have closed a busy public swimming pool after a woman's dead body went unnoticed in the water for two days as people continued to swim.

The permit for the state-run swimming pool expired six months ago, and a city inspector who examined the site - just hours before the body surfaced - did not see the remains because the water was so murky, the Boston Globe reported.

The victim, Haitian immigrant Marie Joseph, 36, was not found until her body surfaced late on Tuesday, when local teenagers jumped the fence for an after-hours swim.

The water may have become murky because the body had begun to decompose, the Globe reported. A nine-year-old boy that went down the slide just before Joseph tried to alert lifeguards but was ignored, according to Veronica Reis, a friend of the victim.

"The little boy was trying to pull her back up, but he couldn't," she said, according to the Globe. "She was too heavy, and she was too slippery from the water."

That is not a valid comparison. The newspaper use of "lied" is just incredibly bad English, both American English and English English.

In this context the past participle of 'to lie' as in lying down is 'lay', lied is the past participle of 'to lie' as in telling an untruth.

Same words in modern English but completely different meanings. In Old English from which 'lie' derives, the words were different.
