The Coast Guard said it received a distress call Wednesday morning from the 21-foot Hughes Craft vessel near Iarick Bay, about 35 miles southwest of Seward.

“A nearby good Samaritan rescued one person from the water who was unresponsive and had no signs of life,” the Coast Guard said in a post on X. The person was later pronounced dead by a local doctor, the Coast Guard said.
Crews searched approximately 95 square miles before the search for the three missing people was called off.
