According to The Boston Globe, 70 victims remained in area hospitals
overnight, including 24 in critical condition. The death toll stands at
three. The second fatality was identified on Tuesday as 29-year-old
Krystle Campbell, a restaurant worker from Medford. Her mother, Patty
Campbell, broke down in tears as she spoke to reporters.

Patty Campbell: "We are heartbroken at the death of our daughter Krystle
Marie. She was a wonderful person. Everybody that knew her loved her.
She loved her dogs. She used to … She had a heart of gold. She was
always smiling from — you could not ask for a better daughter. I
can't believe this has happened. She was such a hard worker in
everything she did. This doesn't make any sense."

The third casualty was also identified Tuesday as Lu Lingzi, a Chinese
national attending graduate school at Boston University.
