Massachusetts quarry where Grownups 2 was filmed turned deadly this morning after 21-year-old succumbs to injuries

A Massachusetts location that was featured in a popular movie turned deadly on Saturday.

According to police, at approximately 12:53 a.m., the Westford Public Safety Communications Center received a 911 call reporting that a 21-year-old male had fallen into the body of water at Merrill’s Quarry, located off Tyngsboro Road, where Grownups 2 was filmed. The caller reported that they could no longer see or locate the individual.

Members of the Westford Police and Fire Departments responded to the scene. Upon arrival, Westford Police officers located the individual at the bottom of the quarry, face down in the water. Members of the Westford Fire Department removed the individual from the water and immediately began life-saving measures.

The individual was transported to Lowell General Hospital, where he later died due to injuries sustained in the fall and from being in the water for a prolonged period of time.

The circumstances surrounding the incident remain under investigation by the Massachusetts State Police Detectives Unit, the Middlesex District Attorney’s Office, and the Westford Police Department’s Special Services Division.

The Westford Police Department extended their deepest condolences to the family and friends of the young man who tragically lost his life.

The Westford Police Department would like to remind the public that Merrill’s Quarry is an extremely dangerous location. The property contains significant hazards, including steep and unstable drops, deep water, and other potentially life-threatening conditions. The quarry is private property and is clearly posted with numerous “No Trespassing” signs. Entering the quarry without permission is not only unlawful but can have dangerous and potentially tragic consequences.

The department thanked the members of the Westford Police Department, Westford Fire Department, and Westford Public Safety Communications Center for their rapid response and dedicated life-saving efforts during this incident.
