Mexico ? Authorities have recovered the bodies of 15 Central American migrants whose boat capsized in the Pacific Ocean, the Mexican navy said Saturday. The vessel was believed to be carrying more than 20 migrants.

Survivor Noemi Martinez, 29, of El Salvador, said the boat departed from Guatemala and capsized Tuesday with more than 20 people aboard, according to Moises Hernandez, regional commander for ministerial police in Oaxaca.

Search efforts were suspended on Saturday because of heavy rain that flooded rivers and creeks.

In a news release, the navy said the ship apparently was overloaded and capsized in heavy seas.

Authorities corrected earlier statements by state officials that 24 bodies had washed up in San Francisco del Mar and a nearby town. Oaxaca state authorities on Saturday counted 11 bodies found, and it was not immediately possible to reconcile the discrepancy with information supplied by the navy.
