A 10th person has died several days after a fire broke out at an assisted living facility in Fall River. Rip currents are responsible for the majority of surf-zone fatalities every year in the U.S. A former Major League Baseball player died Sunday while trying to save swimmers from a rip tide off the coast of South Carolina, authorities said.

Brenda Cropper, 66, had been hospitalized in critical condition for several days. She was the 10th person killed in the Fall River fire.

Authorities identified the victim as Brenda Cropper, 66. She had been hospitalized in critical condition since Sunday’s fire, which was the deadliest blaze in Massachusetts since 1984.
