Six people were killed when a boat capsized in Lake Tahoe, a popular tourist destination on the border of California and Nevada.
Two others are still missing following the accident on Saturday, which occurred as fierce winds battered the lake, kicking up 8ft-tall (2.5m) waves.
The El Dorado County Sheriff's Office said two survivors were pulled from the water and are being treated in hospital for hypothermia and other injuries.
According to the US Coast Guard, the 27-ft-long gold Chris-craft boat was caught in a large swell when winds gusted to 35mph (56km/h).
On Sunday, the sheriff's Dive Team and Search and Rescue was continuing the search for victims near the shores of the DL Bliss State Park, where the accident occurred.
