BALTIMORE, March 9 (UPI) -- A second woman died Tuesday from injuries suffered in the capsizing of a water taxi in Baltimore's harbor.
Authorities said Lisa Pierce, 30, of Lyndhurst, N.J., died at an area hospital. The other victim was Pierce's mother, Joanne Pierce, 60, of Vineland, N.J. She was pulled from the water after the accident but died Saturday.
Three people were still missing Tuesday afternoon, some three days after the incident, which happened about 4 p.m. Saturday, and an 8-year-old girl was listed critical condition.
Authorities said a microburst likely caused a water taxi with about 25 people aboard to capsize in about 30 feet of water near Fort McHenry.
Teams of divers have been working in the 38-degree water searching for the bodies of the three missing people.
Baltimore Fire Chief William Goodwin told the Baltimore Sun divers had found several objects believed to have been from the water taxi. He said the bodies of the missing people could be nearby.
