MIAMI - The US Coast Guard said on Thursday it had found four more bodies off Florida's Atlantic Coast from a boat that capsized over the weekend while engaged in what officials believe was an attempt to smuggle migrants into the United States.

The four additional bodies found in the last 24 hours makes for a total of five recovered out of 39 people reported missing, Coast Guard Commander Jo-Ann Burdian said at a news briefing in Miami. Rescue crews have been looking for survivors since a boat overturned in rough seas on Sunday morning after it left the Bahamas' Bimini islands, about 80km east of Miami, on Saturday night.

He said he would not comment on the nationalities of the people aboard the boat as it was part of the investigation.
