A Coast Guard has suspended its search for a man who reportedly fell overboard from the Seattle-based commercial fishing trawler Alaska Warrior in the Bering Sea.

The search was suspended shortly after 4 p.m. Tuesday after the Coast Guard covered more than 1,400 square miles for 11 hours. The Alaska Warrior's crew and its sister ship, the Alaska Juris, searched for 28 hours.

The Coast Guard said the 58-year-old crewmember's rain gear was located by the Alaska Warrior.

The man was reported overboard shortly after noon Monday. His identity was not disclosed.
