At sundown April 19, the U.S. Coast Guard suspended search-and-rescue efforts at the liftboat Seacor Power, the vessel that capsized April 13 in the Gulf of Mexico just south of Port Fourchon, on the central Louisiana coast.
There were 19 people aboard the vessel when it capsized in rough seas and high winds. Six of them survived and were pulled from the water in the immediate aftermath. As of April 22, the bodies of six additional crew members had been recovered, with seven yet unaccounted for.
Just before an April 19 press conference held in Cutoff, La., representatives from Seacor Marine (the owner of the liftboat), the Coast Guard and the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) met with family members of those who perished aboard the Seacor Power when the vessel overturned.

AUSTIN, Texas – A former Texas sheriff s deputy was booked on a capital murder charge Monday after police say he shot and killed his ex-wife, teenage stepdaughter and another man during a weekend shooting that shut down a busy Austin shopping area and set off an overnight manhunt.
Officers found Stephen Broderick, 41, about 20 miles from the scene of Sunday s shooting, which prompted active shooter alerts and unnerved residents in the Texas capital.
Broderick was taken into custody without incident just before sunrise Monday, on the outskirts of Austin, after officers received reports of a person matching the shooter s description, Manor Police Chief Ryan Phipps said. He said Broderick was walking down a rural road and carrying a loaded pistol in his waistband.
