Quote:"The casino company said its shuttle boat that caught fire off Florida's Gulf Coast never had any previous problems."
Quote:"The woman died late Sunday hours after the fire began, while 14 other people were injured, Regional Medical Center Bayonet Point spokesman Kurt Conover said Monday. The woman had gone home after escaping the boat that was engulfed in flames, but went to the hospital’s emergency room after she became ill."
Note: She'd been in the water, on the coast, breathing smoke. She could've gotten poisoned by the water or the smoke or both, and the effects just didn't kick in immediately. Hydrogen sulfide sometimes kills with a delayed reaction of minutes, hours or even a few days. Her death is very similar to the firefighters who've been dropping dead hours after fighting a fire...
