Two bodies found in debris from fishing boat that reportedly capsized in Alaska

Based on evidence on site, authorities believe individuals were two of five people aboard Wind Walker in rough seas

Two bodies have been recovered amid debris from a fishing boat that reportedly capsized with five people aboard in rough seas in waters off south-east Alaska earlier this month.

Authorities believe the two individuals had been on the boat based on evidence found at the site on Monday, including buoys and other gear associated with the Wind Walker, said Austin McDaniel, a spokesperson with the Alaska department of public safety, by email on Tuesday.
