        The U.S. Coast Guard said it found four more bodies off Florida's Atlantic Coast from a boat that capsized over the weekend and that it would suspend its search operations by sunset on Thursday unless new information surfaced before then.
        
        The four additional bodies found in the last 24 hours makes for a total of five recovered out of 39 people reported missing, Coast Guard Commander Jo-Ann Burdian said at a news briefing in Miami.
        
        "If we don't receive additional specific information to help redirect our search, we'll suspend that active searching," Burdian said.
        
        Rescue crews have been looking for survivors since a boat overturned in rough seas on Sunday morning after it left the Bahamas' Bimini islands, about 50 miles (80 km) east of Miami, on Saturday night.
