Dozens of first responders searched the quarry for a reported missing swimmer as police again warned the site is unsafe for recreation.
- 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.
