A family hiking trip in New Hampshire turned into a tragedy for a Massachusetts family on Tuesday, when a mother drowned trying to save one of her children, police say
The woman was identified Wednesday by the Everett Police Department as Melissa Bagley. Police said Bagley, 44, was married to a lieutenant in their department.
One of the children, a 10-year-old boy, fell into a pool of water of the Pemigewasset River at the falls, officials said, and several members of the family jumped into the river to save him from a fast current. The father of the family eventually found the mother on a rock and began doing CPR. She couldn't be revived, officials said.Crews arrived, and brought two of the hikers who were injured to the trailhead, where they were then taken to Littleton Regional Hospital for non-life threatening injuries. A funeral home responded for the mother's body, officials said.
Everett's mayor also remembered the mom, saying in part,"As a parent, I know that there is nothing that any parent wouldn’t do for their child. Melissa did everything she could to protect her children and her family."
