The body of salmon fisherman Thomas Sagoonick, 36, of Shaktoolik, has been found.
Local residents discovered the body washed up on the beach Sunday, said Beth Ipsen, a spokeswoman for the Alaska State Troopers.
Sagoonick and two crewmen, Clarence Savetilik Jr., 24, and Brian Savetilik, 19, both of Shaktoolik, were in a small boat laden with salmon when it capsized in rough waters Friday, Ipsen said.
Villagers managed to save the two crewmen, who were clinging to a buoy, troopers said.
