WEST VALLEY CITY — Police have identified the woman whose body was found at the Centennial Park pool in West Valley City on Tuesday morning.
The woman is Karina Aguilar, 25, according to a tweet from West Valley City Police.
Police got a call just after 8 a.m. reporting that some maintenance workers had entered the facility and discovered a woman’s body floating in the water at the pool near 5355 W. 3100 South, according to West Valley City police Lt. Bill Merritt.

The woman, later identified as Aguilar, was clothed and there are no signs of foul play in her death as of Tuesday morning, Merritt said. Police were waiting for the medical examiner’s office to process the scene.
Police did not find any signs of entrances to the pool being unlocked or damaged, Merritt said. The pool is closed, and maintenance crews only visit the facility a couple times a week, he added.
Saturday was the last time anyone was inside the pool facility, and the last time someone checked the perimeter was Sunday, Merritt said.
Investigators have not been able to determine how Aguilar got into the facility. Police will be checking the surrounding area at the park, as well as any surveillance cameras.
The incident remains under investigation, police said.
