STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. — The U.S. Coast Guard is still searching for one person missing in the water approximately five miles southeast of Breezy Point after five people were recovered from a capsized boat around noon Sunday afternoon, according to a release. Coast Guard rescue crews and assisting agencies, including the Sandy Hook Pilots and the New York Police Department Aviation Unit, recovered and transported the five individuals, with two airlifted to Staten Island University Hospital and three transported to Coast Guard Station Sandy Hook where emergency medical services were waiting. Coast Guard crews administered CPR to some of the unresponsive victims, the release stated. Three of the individuals were later pronounced deceased, while one person was listed in critical condition and another person was listed in stable condition, according to an NYPD spokesman. The incident began when Coast Guard Sector New York received a notification of a “vessel in distress” from New York City 911 operators near Breezy Point. The Coast Guard deployed three rescue boats from Coast Guard Station New York and Station Sandy Hook and an MH-65 helicopter from Coast Guard Air Station Atlantic City. NYPD, FDNY and New Jersey State Police crews are assisting in the ongoing investigation, the release went on to say.
