Rescuers pull body from San Francisco Bay following deadly yacht capsizing

The US Coast Guard, the San Francisco Fire Department, the Oakland Fire Department, the Tiburon Fire Department, the Marin County Sheriff’s Office, and the crews of some Good Samaritan fishing boats also participated in the response effort following the capsizing.

The US Coast Guard ordered the suspension of the search operation on Wednesday, July 15, a little over 24 hours after the capsizing occurred. By then, the various partner agencies had already combed an area covering more than 950 square nautical miles and recovered the body of a 79-year-old male passenger.
