Police say three bodies pulled out of New York's Long Island Sound after a yacht capsized on the Fourth of July were all children.

The bodies of the 12-year-old boy and two girls, ages 11 and 8, were recovered from the boat's cabin.

Twenty-four other people were rescued, and were treated and released.

Weather and a wake from another boat are being investigated as possible factors. Nassau County Police Det. Lt. John Azzata says alcohol is not believed to be a factor.

The boat had two operators. Passengers had been watching a fireworks display when it capsized around 10 p.m. Wednesday.
