Woman who drowned in Saturday incident identified

Jul. 20—An Owensboro woman who was found face down in a swimming pool Saturday at a home on Kentucky 56 has been identified.

The Daviess County Sheriff's Department identified the woman Monday at Cassie Head, 37, of Owensboro. Daviess County Coroner Jeff Jones said the cause of death was drowning.

Sheriff's department reports say emergency responders were called to the home at 3:32 p.m. Reports say the home's occupants told responders Head had texted and asked to use the family's pool and was given permission.

The family was not home at the time, reports say.

When the family returned home, a juvenile went outside and found Head floating face-down in the pool. The juvenile told an adult, and the adult went into the water and turned the victim over and called 911. Responders attempted to perform life-saving measures and Head was transported to Owensboro Health Regional Hospital, where she was later pronounced dead.

No foul play is suspected in the incident.
