A woman is dead after her body was found in her backyard pool in Miller Place Wednesday.
Neighbors say Jerry Bolmarcich, 47, pulled his girlfriend, Tammy Kitson, 45, from the pool on Parkside Avenue around 3 a.m. Kitson was pronounced dead at Mather Hospital in Port Jefferson. Police believe she drowned.
The death is the second pool-related death this week on the Island. On Tuesday, 55-year-old Kevin Clark, of Saint James, was discovered by his son at the bottom of his backyard pool. Officials say they believe Clark may have had a heart attack or a seizure.
