Following the death of her son, Wilson Ortiz, by drowning at Horseneck Beach, Westport, part of a State land reservation owned and operated by the Commonwealth, the plaintiff commenced this action alleging negligence, gross negligence, conscious pain and suffering, and negligent infliction of emotional distress. A judge of the Superior Court allowed the Commonwealth’s motion to dismiss the complaint, Mass.R.Civ.P. 12(b)(6), 365 Mass. 755 (1974), on the ground that the plaintiff’s action was barred by the immunity provisions of § 10(/) of G. L. c. 258, the Massachusetts Tort Claims Act (Act).
