Coast Guard plans to end search for survivors of capsized boat off Florida

What they're saying: "We don’t think it is likely that anyone else has survived," Coast Guard Capt. Jo-Ann Burdian said at a news conference. "The victims, in this case, have been in the water since Saturday evening."

• "Unfortunately, we've come to the most difficult time in any search and rescue case," she continued. "That is the point at which we decide when to cease actively searching."

The big picture: A "good Samaritan" contacted the Coast Guard Tuesday to say they "rescued a man clinging to a capsized vessel," per a tweet from the agency, which noted it was dealing with "a suspected human smuggling venture."

• The survivor reported he left Bimini, Bahamas, with 39 other people Saturday night and encountered severe weather, causing the vessel to capsize Sunday morning," per a Coast Guard statement issued Tuesday night 
• No one on the 25-foot boat was wearing a life jacket, according to the survivor.
