A post-mortem investigation will be performed on the body of a fisherman who drowned on Saturday evening (February 4th) off the coast of Donegal.
The man, who was in his late 30s, fell overboard from a boat off the northwest coast when it was crab fishing.
At the time, the boat was situated 70 miles north of Rainn Mhór.
Around 8:30 pm, emergency services were notified of the incident, but after the man's crewmates pulled him from the water, a rescue effort was called off.
He was not revived despite efforts.
The National Ambulance Service and garda were waiting for the boat when it arrived at its home port of An Baile Glas in Co. Mayo.
The Marine Casualty Investigation Board has been informed.
