Rescue teams have been scouring the Atlantic off Florida's coast as they continue to search for 39 people who have been reported missing by a survivor who clung onto a boat that capsized.
The US Coast Guard suspect the boat was part of a human smuggling bid that went badly wrong.
The survivor told authorities after his rescue that he had left the Bahamas' Bimini islands, about 50 miles east of Miami, in a boat with 39 other people on Saturday night, the Coast Guard tweeted.
