Summary
Search crews recovered 58-year-old Tondra Madruga's body Thursday near Treasure Island, making her the second confirmed death in Tuesday's cabin cruiser sinking.
The 40-foot pleasure craft Volare was carrying 20 people during a memorial service when a wave struck it, the vessel took on water and rolled over near Alcatraz Island.
Sixteen people were rescued after the 3:37 p.m. Tuesday sinking; two people are still missing, and the Coast Guard suspended its search Wednesday evening.
Police believe the wreck lies about 130 feet below the surface and are trying to pinpoint it before a salvage company and divers attempt a difficult recovery.
