Teen boater found clinging to capsized vessel after 3 go missing; 2 bodies recovered

A 15-year-old boater was found alive clinging to an overturned vessel after three people went missing off Alaska’s coast earlier this week, the U.S. Coast Guard said Tuesday. Rescue personnel located the teenager Monday “clinging to the capsized vessel” amid a medical emergency. Officials said he was experiencing symptoms of hypothermia after being rescued from the overturned skiff. Two other mariners were found dead after an 18-foot fishing boat they were aboard overturned about 4 miles east of St. Lawrence Island. The search began early Monday after Alaska State Troopers reported the boat overdue Sunday evening.
