The U.S. Coast Guard (USCG) said Friday the person, an unidentified man, was spotted around 7:10 p.m. local time on Thursday by a helicopter crew that was searching the area. He was found in the water near the capsized Seacor Power liftboat and recovered by the crew of the Coast Guard Cutter Benjamin Daily. He was transported to Coast Guard Station Grand Isle where a coroner pronounced him dead.

The search continued Friday for 11 people who were still missing after the liftboat capsized in rough weather. Of the crew of 19, six were rescued by the USCG and “good Samaritan vessels” and one other was confirmed dead earlier in the week.
