Second Capsizing Victim Dies; Search Continues
A second person has died as a result of the weekend capsizing of a water taxi in Baltimore Harbor, and crews spent another day trying to find the bodies of three people still missing.
The woman who died Monday evening was the daughter of another victim, JoAnn Pierce, 60, of Cumberland County, N.J., according to one of Pierce’s bosses.
Lisa Pierce, 30, died at Harbor Hospital, said Dr. Michael Rosenberg, a partner in the medical facility where JoAnn Pierce was an office manager.
The 36-foot pontoon boat overturned Saturday near Fort McHenry when a sudden thunderstorm struck with wind gusts of up to 55 mph. Twenty-five people were aboard.
