Woman found unresponsive in pool now ‘fighting for her life,’ family says

The woman found unresponsive in a pool at Mobile Manor Estates on Monday afternoon is “fighting for her life,” family members say.

The woman, whose family identified her as Kim Neal, suffered from a medical issue that caused her to pass out and fall into the pool in the 2600 block of South Meridian. The case was initially reported as a near drowning.

The family said Neal is in the intensive care unit at Wesley Medical Center and is connected to oxygen to breathe.

Neal was with her 2-year-old grandson when the accident occurred, her aunt Mary Simmons said.

“I don’t think he realized what happened,” Simmons said. “He won’t even be 3 until next week. Thank God he was all right.”

Simmons said they won’t receive further updates on Neal’s condition until Wednesday.
