A Metairie man died after his 12-foot boat capsized in the waters off Pensacola, Fla. The Coast Guard and the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission say Brent Keller, 24, and a companion, Brent Wilson, 20, of Pensacola, floated for hours after waves inundated their boat Thursday about 4:15 p.m.

A spokesman for the wildlife commission stated that both men put on life jackets. But no other boats were in the area, and they had no flares or radio equipment.
