Nobody wants to see that. All of the victims were pronounced dead on arrival at Door County Memorial Hospital, McCarthy said. A second Coast Guard boat out of Two Rivers joined the search for King on Monday. At dawn Tuesday, a new Coast Guard crew in the rescue boat and a different Coast Guard helicopter out of Waukegan, Ill., were sent out, McCarthy said. But after nearly 14 hours, the search was suspended because Coast Guard boats could not handle the rough waters, McCarthy said.
Officials are unsure what caused the boat to turn over and when it happened.
There were no witnesses and no radio communications from men. Weather did not appear to be a factor. Waves on Monday were only about 1 feet high and winds were mild, McCarthy said. An investigation is being conducted by the Coast Guard and Department of Natural Resources, McCarthy said. Rotell said her husband and King never drank alcohol on their fishing trips.
