Man drowns in rock quarry

Randall Scott Flood, of Battleboro, was using a rope to swing from a tree limb overhanging the edge of the quarry and fell and struck his head on the ledge at about 3:15 p.m., authorities said. He fell into the water and never resurfaced.

Someone with him called 911 for help, and recovery teams located Flood in about 25 feet of water at about 5:45 p.m.
