Body of 84-year-old man found in pool in S. Kingstown

SOUTH KINGSTOWN -- The body of an 84-year-old man was found in a pool of a vacant house on Woodland Trail today, the police said.

The man was identified by police as William Kramer.

The police were called at about 1:50 p.m. from Shirley Kramer, who reported her husband did not come home from walking the dog. She told the police he had left their 8 Indian Trail home at about 7:30 a.m.

She left home, then returned at about 12:30 p.m. The police said that, according to a neighbor, the dog returned home at about 8:30 a.m. without Kramer.

Police and firefighters searched and at about 3:30 p.m. Officer David Perry saw a dog's leash on the ground near a pool in the backyard of the vacant Woodland Trail house. Further inspection located the man's body.

The police department is continuing with the investigation. However, foul play is not suspected.
