The Bergen County Regional SCUBA Task Force was called after borough police and firefighters responded to Coopers Pond late Friday, April 29.

Operations were suspended an hour or so later.

That's because authorities discovered that the 50-year-old woman who was believed drowned was safe and sound -- in Rhode Island.

It was on April 22 when an 18-year-old high school student drowned in neighboring New Milford.
