ST. LOUIS — A St. Louis paramedic who was rescued from a swimming pool at a south city apartment complex died over the weekend, the Fire Department said. Brenda Schaeffer, 36, died Saturday, two days after she suffered an apparent heart attack beside the pool and fell into the water, St. Louis Fire Department Capt. Bob Keuss said. Schaeffer, who worked for the department for 12 years and was a team leader, lived at the Southwest Crossing apartments, where she often swam in the complex’s pool.
