Coast Guard suspends search for 3 people missing after boat capsizes off Alaska

ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) — The U.S. Coast Guard on Thursday suspended its search for three people missing after their boat capsized in a Gulf of Alaska bay. The Coast Guard said a distress call was received Wednesday morning from a boat southwest of Seward. An alert was sent to nearby boats, and a Coast Guard air crew located the capsized vessel. A good Samaritan crew recovered a person who was described as unresponsive from the water. That person was later pronounced dead. The Coast Guard says crews searched roughly 95 square miles before the active search for the three people missing was suspended.
