DAUPHIN ISLAND, Ala. — With the sailboat leaning precariously during a storm in Mobile Bay, Kris Beall climbed over the side trying to right the craft and wanted to save others, his wife said Tuesday.
Beall, 27, of Pineville, La., was one of two people confirmed killed in a sinking that left four others missing.
Authorities identified the other victim as Robert Delaney, 72, of Madison, Miss.
A good Samaritan found the body of a third victim while fishing Tuesday morning, US Coast Guard officials said. That person’s name hasn’t been released, and authorities are still searching for three others, Coast Guard spokesman Seth Johnson said.
The missing are from three boats participating in the annual Dauphin Island Regatta, officials said.
