The Coast Guard has suspended the search for a family that disappeared off the coast near Englewood.

Rescuers identified the second body found as the father, Ace Kimberly. Ace's daughter, Rebecca, was previously identified.

Coast Guard Captain Gregory Case says Rebecca was wearing her life vest when she was found, but Ace was not.

The father and his three teenagers went missing a week ago after departing Sarasota on a 29-foot sailboat. According to family members, Kimberly made a phone call to his brother, saying they were in 6-foot seas and he was worried about their survival. He made that phone call Sunday, but the family on shore didn't call the Coast Guard until Tuesday.

Coast Guard Captain Gregory Case says the boat may never be recovered and the decision to suspend the search was very difficult.

The Coast Guard does not know what caused their boat to sink.
