A female passenger hospitalized Sunday after a massive blaze on a casino boat off Florida’s Gulf Coast has died, authorities said Monday. The woman, who has not yet been identified, was one of 15 people injured after the fire, which forced passengers to jump into the water as it consumed the boat. Officials had initially said none of the injuries were life-threatening. A spokesman for the Regional Medical Center Bayonet Point said the woman died less than an hour after arriving at the hospital with a complaint about feeling ill. A cause of death has not yet been determined.
