Not much is known about the incident yet, Johnson said, including the speed of the boat, what caused the flip or even who was driving. The incident did not appear to have involved any other vessels.

Boater Trenton Zamniak, who was nearby when the boat flipped, told Gulf Coast News Now that the boat "nosed up about 90 degrees and slips right over back."
Brenna Millett, Rebecca Knight and Neal Kirby were recovered and taken to a local hospital after the incident. MIllett and Knight died Saturday night, Johnson said. Kirby was still in critical but stable condition Sunday afternoon.

Craig Millett, 60, remained missing during an overnight search by dive crews until his submerged body was found around 12:30 p.m. Sunday in open water near the incident close to Redfish Point, Johnson said.
