Following the boat's capsizing and one person's death, a search for five people is underway, officials said. Four people have been rescued so far.

The US Coast Guard has suspended the search for five people missing from what it called “a suspected failed smuggling venture,” after a boat carrying nine people capsized off the southeast coast of Florida early Saturday.

Four people were rescued on Sunday, two days after the boat capsized off the state’s Atlantic coast, the authorities said.
