The Coast Guard will end its active search Thursday for the remaining 34 migrants lost at sea off the coast of Florida after recovering the bodies of five people on board.A boat of 40 migrants left the Bahamian island of Bimini on Saturday night and capsized in the turbulent Gulf Stream waters of the Atlantic Ocean. A lone man was found holding onto the capsized boat Tuesday after fighting for his life in open waters for two days.“We don’t think it is likely that anyone else has survived,” Coast Guard Capt. Jo-Ann F. Burdian said at a news conference Thursday. The search will end at sunset Thursday unless the agency receives new evidence.
