Webster, N.Y. - The search for two brothers reported missing in Irondequoit Bay has ended.

Officials found the bodies of two men in Irondequoit Bay at 7:40 p.m. Tuesday, by using sonar technology.

The sister of the men, who are brothers, said their names are Keo Nhong, 29, and Chanta Nhong, 27, both of Rochester

The Monroe County Sheriff's Department said a man and two kids were in a boat pulling a tube carrying a man and two children. The tube caught a wave and flipped over. All four children were wearing life jackets, but the two men were not.

The two children on the boat were able to pull the two children in the water to safety. Meanwhile, the man on the boat jumped in to help his brother in the water.  A 9-year-old on the boat called 911 reporting that the men were having trouble swimming.

The four children were not injured.

Emergency crews credit the kids on the boat with saving the lives of the two children in the water.

In a statement, the Coast Guard said, "The Coast Guard recommends that all people wear a life jacket while boating. It is safer to wear one at all times when boating than to try and put one on during an emergency."
