A woman died after being pulled from the Merrimack River Thursday night in Newburyport, Massachusetts. The search remains active and ongoing for her missing 6-year-old son.
The woman, whose name has been withheld, went under water and did not resurface. Rescuers located the mom and brought her out of the water, but she was unresponsive and not breathing. CPR was administered on scene before she was taken to Anna Jaques Hospital in Newburyport where she was pronounced dead.
Rescuers from throughout the region -- all area departments, harbormasters, coast guard, and police departments -- are assisting in the search. The search continued overnight into Friday morning with several fire departments, a state police dive team, and both state police and Coast Guard boats and helicopters scouring the water.
Massachusetts State Police confirmed they were requested to assist shortly after 7 p.m., when multiple people were reportedly swept into the Merrimack River near Deer Island at the Amesbury/Newburyport town lines. Police also confirmed one person died in the incident.
