A ship capsized off the coast of Florida, killing at least one person and leaving 38 more missing. On Tuesday, officials were notified after a commercial vessel noticed a man clinging to the hull of a boat 45 miles (72 kilometres) from the city of Fort Pierce. According to the survivor, the group left Bimini in the Bahamas on Saturday night and later encountered bad weather. According to US officials, the yacht may have been involved in a "people smuggling business." None of the passengers were wearing a life vest, according to the survivor, who has not been identified.
