The daughter of a former selectman in Marshfield is dead after drowning in a swimming pool on Sunday.
Jim Fitzgerald found his 15-year-old daughter, Molly, at the bottom of their above-ground pool at their Whitford Circle home.
When fire officials arrived, they found the Fitzgerald on the deck performing CPR on Molly.
The teen was brought by ambulance to South Shore Hospital where she was later pronounced dead.
It is still unclear how and why the teenager drowned. Its extremely unfortunate on Fathers Day that not only does the father have to make this discovery, hes lost his daughter on Fathers Day, said Chief Kevin Robinson of the Marshfield Police Department. A terribly sad day in Marshfield.
CBS4 spoke with Patricia Epstein -- a current selectman and a friend of the family. She said Fitzgerald stepped down from his selectman position a year ago, but is still very active in his community.
According to neighbors, Molly just completed her freshman year at Marshfield High School.
In addition to her parents, the teen leaves behind an older sister and a younger brother.
