Authorities on Tuesday suspended the search for survivors of a scuba diving boat disaster off the California coast after recovering 20 bodies and spotting another four to six trapped in underwater wreckage.
The bodies of 11 women and nine men were transferred to coroner offices following the disaster on Monday when the 75-foot Conception caught fire and sank with passengers trapped below deck by the roaring blaze. “Today we will begin the process of mapping DNA profiles of the 20 victims that we have recovered so far so that they can be compared with family samples,” Santa Barbara County Sheriff Bill Brown told a news conference.
The boat had been on a diving excursion around Santa Cruz Island, just west of Santa Barbara in southern California, when disaster struck early Monday.
