TWO people have died after being rescued from the sea off Malin Head in Co Donegal.
Three people were taken from the water this afternoon after a small fishing boat capsized in the area.
A 16-year-old boy who was airlifted to Altnagelvin Area Hospital died there tonight.
He is understood to have strong connections with the Inishowen area.
A man in his 60s who was taken to Letterkenny University Hospital has also died.
The teenager was from Derry, while the man was from Donegal.
Another man, also from Derry, is in a stable condition.
It is understood the boat left the area around midday with three people on board and that calls for help were heard by people on the shore later in the afternoon.
It is not known what caused the 15ft vessel to capsize.
The search was co-ordinated by Malin Head Coastguard and involved two RNLI lifeboats from Lough Swilly, the Coastguard helicopter and a number of local boats.
