PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. (AP) — U.S. Coast Guard crews were still searching on Monday for five people missing after a boat capsized off Florida’s Atlantic Coast.
The Coast Guard said in a social media post that one person was found dead and crews rescued four others on Sunday about 29 miles off St. Lucie Inlet, which is 46 miles north of West Palm Beach.
