NAHANT, Mass. — A member of a fishing vessel that was injured after a rope snapped and struck two crewmen has passed away, the Coast Guard announced.

The two crew members were transported to Beverly Hospital. One of the victims sustained a concussion and broken ribs, while the other had suffered a suspected broken neck and was intermittently unresponsive.
A spokesperson for the Coast Guard said, “Our hearts are with his family, friends, and loved ones during this incredibly difficult time.”
There is no word on the status of the second crewmember.
