MAYPORT, Fla. -- The search is over Tuesday morning for possible survivors off the coast of Atlantic Beach.
The Coast Guard Cutter Kingfisher spent most of Tuesday searching the area, along with helicopters.
A body was found floating along with two large pieces of a vessel, life jackets and flares Sunday night. The man found floating next to the large debris area is Guillermo Losada.He was brought back to shore early Monday morning. The Coast Guard searched for more potential victims until late Tuesday afternoon.
"The decision to suspend our search as well as the decisions made throughout our response to this tragic incident have been exceptionally challenging due to the lack of critical information we ordinarily rely on, and our thoughts and prayers go out to Mr. Losada's loved ones during this difficult time," said Coast Guard Sector Jacksonville Deputy Commander Russell Holmes. "Unfortunately, many of the questions that arose immediately after we learned of the wreckage remain unanswered."
The Coast Guard is trying to figure out what the Venzuelan man with a work visa in Miami was doing off the coast of Jacksonville.
