PORT FOURCHON, La. (AP) – Divers searching the site of a capsized lift boat off Louisiana’s coast have recovered two more unresponsive crewmembers. The Coast Guard declined to release more details, referring all questions late Friday to a local coroner. A Coast Guard statement said commercial divers on the capsized Seacor Power lift boat found the two Friday evening. Coast Guard Capt. Will Watson, commander of the New Orleans sector, said the agency extends its “deepest sympathy” to the family, friends and loved ones of all involved in what he called “this tragic incident.” áThe vessel, which supports offshore oil rigs, overturned Tuesday in rough weather south of the Louisiana coast.
