Sean Malone, who appeared in the movies 'Gone, Baby, Gone' and 'The Fighter', passed away today at the age of 54.
On Monday July 20, the actor was found by an off-duty firefighter and three local teens floating face down in the ocean off a South Boston Beach.
It was reported that Malone got into difficulty after swimming a long way out and got trapped by the tide.
He was then rushed to Boston Medical Center where he remained unconscious and in a critical condition, before dying of his injuries yesterday, July 29.
The Boston Fire Department, where his brother is Deputy Fire Chief, confirmed the news today.
