STEUBEN — The U.S. Coast Guard says the search has been suspended for a Maine man who disappeared in the ocean off Steuben.

Brothers 44-year-old Alton Jellison and 43-year-old Jack Jellison, both of Milbridge, headed out Saturday to visit an island in a small boat.
On Wednesday a fisherman discovered an overturned boat.

And the Maine Marine Patrol discovered a body believed to be that of one of the brothers on the island that they had planned to visit. Officials did not publicly identify the body.

Three Coast Guard boats and a Jayhawk helicopter searched an area of 100 square miles for about 32 hours along with the Maine Marine Patrol and others.
