A makeshift boat carrying an estimated 60 people capsized near Mona Island, west of Puerto Rico, after a fight involving a machete prompted passengers to jump into the sea, the US Coast Guard said. 'No one was wearing life jackets,' the Coast Guard said.
Survivors spent more than 12 hours in the water before a passing vessel spotted them around noon. Two people have been confirmed dead and at least 40 rescued, while an unknown number remained missing on Monday evening.
