One of the three people who the Coast Guard rescued after their 30-foot boat caught fire off the Bay State has died.
Cynthia “Cici” Sullivan, 72, passed away on Thursday, according to her son.
She suffered severe injuries when the family’s vessel “Third Wave” caught fire earlier this week.
The three family members — Cici, her husband Patrick, and son Tyler — woke up to their dogs barking and the sound of fireworks, followed by smoke. The family abandoned ship and swam to the nearby Naushon Island, where they found a barn for shelter.
“Tyler acted heroically, assisting his parents as they swam toward the shoreline,” reads a GoFundMe page titled “Help the Sullivans with Funeral and Recovery.
