Crews search Milford quarry after swimmer reported missing

On Sunday, State Police recovered the body of a missing swimmer at the Shadowbrook Quarries in Milford, Massachusetts, after search operations began Saturday afternoon.
Milford Police Chief Robert Tusino warned last week that the quarries "are not a safe place for recreation," citing steep rock faces and unstable terrain as extreme hazards.
Just last weekend, an 18-year-old woman fell about 12 feet from a rock ledge onto jagged rocks, suffering bleeding injuries and requiring a Lifeflight to UMass Memorial Medical Center.
Despite police threats of thousands of dollars in fines, the Shadowbrook Quarries remain a popular but illegal swimming spot, drawing visitors throughout the summer months.
Milford resident Deborah Draycott warned that "there's falling rocks all the time," while authorities note deep waters contain hazardous debris including cars and scrap metal.
