A mother who was stranded with her family for nearly two days on a remote island off the coast of Massachusetts after a horrific boat fire has died.

Cici Sullivan passed away Thursday night, her son Chris told WBZ-TV. Sullivan was sleeping on a boat with her husband Patrick and their other son Tyler early Tuesday morning off Cape Cod when the boat caught fire. They escaped with burns and swam to nearby Naushon Island, where they were stranded until Wednesday morning when the Coast Guard rescued them. Their dogs died.

Cici and Tyler Sullivan were rushed to Cape Cod Hospital in Hyannis. Patrick was taken to the burn center at Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston.
