Three people are dead and at least seven more are missing after a small boat overturned off the coast near San Diego, California, officials said.
At least 16 people, including two children, were on board the panga-style fishing boat, the US Coast Guard said. Initially, as many as nine people were reported missing - but two were later found and detained.
An official told CBS News, the BBC's US partner, that the incident was being treated as a suspected case of human smuggling. A number of Indian passports were found near where the boat washed up on a beach, news agency Reuters reported.
Four of those found have been taken to hospital. It is not known if anyone else entered the water.
The coast guard said on Tuesday that seven people from the boat remained missing, but that it had suspended its search "pending further developments".
