El Faro cargo ship sank, one confirmed dead: US Coast Guard

The US Coast Guard said Monday it has discovered a body from the lost El Faro cargo ship, which is believed to have sunk in the Atlantic with 33 people aboard. Several survival suits were found and searchers "did identify human remains in one," Coast Guard Captain Mark Fedor said. While en route from Florida to Puerto Rico with 28 Americans and five Poles on board, the 735-foot El Faro lost contact early Thursday as the dangerous weather system approached the Bahamas.
