Northwood man found in pool is 'critical'

7/19/2008

A 54-year-old man was in critical condition last night, hours after he was found in the swimming pool in back of his home off Curtice Road in Northwood, authorities said.

Michael Redick of 363 Wolf Creek Ct. was admitted to St. Charles Mercy Hospital. Few details were released last night about the case, which was first approached as a "possible drowning," according to police.

"I can't say whether he was responsive because this is still an ongoing investigation," Northwood Police Sgt. Gary Sutel said. "We're trying not to give any more details than we have to."
