A 68-year-old English woman drowned in a five-star hotel pool while she was on vacation in the Dominican Republic, with news reports saying it was her first vacation in more than a decade.

Grandmother Marie Palfreeman died on Feb. 3 at the Hotel Bahia Principe, the Oxford Mail reported on July 26. She suffered from already existing medication conditions, and she was swimming with a relative when she went under and drowned.
