The U.S. Coast Guard said on Monday that it had suspended its search for five people after their commercial fishing boat capsized in Alaska.

The Coast Guard received a mayday call early Sunday from the crew of the 50-foot fishing boat Wind Walker, saying that the vessel was overturning in waters just south of Couverden Point in southeast Alaska.
