The Coast Guard has called off the search for a missing helicopter pilot in the Gulf, but the company he was working for is still looking.
The pilot was the only person on board when he made a mayday call Saturday morning - just before crashing about 8 miles south of Cameron.
That's where helicopter debris was found yesterday. The pilot was working for Rotor Craft Leasing out of Broussard.
The company's General Manager tells KATC he's sending divers and sonar devices to the debris field to continue the search.
