Man drowns in a public hot spring pool in TaianBy Peng Chien-li, Weng Yu-huang and Fion Khan / Staff reporters, with staff writerA 73-year-old man yesterday drowned at a public hot spring pool at the Taian Police Light Villa in Miaoli County, police said. The entrance to a public hot spring pool at the Taian Police Light Villa in Miaoli County is pictured in an undated photograph. The villa, in Taian Hot Spring, is a popular destination for police officers. While the resort primarily serves police personnel, its public pool is open to the public. Entering a high-temperature pool too quickly could cause rapid vasodilation, while repeatedly alternating between hot and cold pools could lead to sharp fluctuations in blood pressure, he said.
