The U.S. Coast Guard has confirmed that four bodies found in two locations were those of Cuban migrants who had been on board a makeshift vessel that capsized off the Florida Keys last week.
In a news release, the agency said investigators are still trying to determine whether a fifth body found Saturday was part of the group that left Cuba on Sept. 21, which was also the day the vessel capsized. The Coast Guard found three survivors on Monday who told them they had been on a boat with 23 people on board.
On Saturday, officials found three bodies about 20 miles off of Islamorada. A woman's body was found by Florida Fish and Wildlife officers near Big Munson Island on Monday.
Crews are still searching for survivors.
