ARRANGEMENTS are being
made for the repatriation of the body of an English
diver who died while exploring wartime wrecks off
the coast of Donegal.
The body of the man, who is in his 40s and from the
Hull area of England, was recovered from the water
shortly after teatime yesterday. A post mortem will
take place at Letterkenny General Hospital today.
The Lough Swilly Lifeboat crew, operating out of
Buncrana, took part in the extensive two-day air and
sea search after the diver failed to return to his
party's boat, the 42-footer 'Rosguill' on Sunday.
An RNLI spokesperson said the deceased was located
yesterday by his diving colleagues.
They were in a party of seven who were wreck-diving
26km north-northwest of Horn Head after leaving
Mulroy Bay on their expedition at midday on Sunday. |
