Crew member on sunken vessel off Cape Cod has died, officials identify him

"Angel Nieves, 37, of New Bedford, was one of two crew members aboard the vessel, which was discovered about two nautical miles off the coast of Provincetown, the Cape & Islands District Attorney's Office said in a statement. Nieves was recovered from the water by the U.S. Coast Guard and Massachusetts Environmental Police, according to the DA's office. He was then brought to MacMillan Pier, where Provincetown fire officials determined that he was 'no longer viable for resuscitation.'"

"Investigators later learned that there was a second crew member on the overturned boat. However, due to poor weather conditions, the search for the other person has now ended, officials said."

"The Coast Guard said two Good Samaritans alerted authorities about the capsized vessel Thursday morning. Rescuers arrived on the scene minutes later and recovered Nieves."

The Yankee Rose fishing boat capsized approximately two nautical miles off Provincetown, Massachusetts on Thursday. Angel Nieves, 37, of New Bedford, was recovered from the water by the U.S. Coast Guard and Massachusetts Environmental Police but was pronounced unviable for resuscitation at MacMillan Pier. A second crew member was aboard the vessel but remains missing. The search for the missing person has been suspended due to poor weather conditions. Two Good Samaritans initially reported the capsized vessel to authorities, prompting a rapid rescue response. The same boat was involved in a carbon monoxide exposure incident on February 26, affecting eight people including first responders.
