Teen Found Clinging to Capsized Boat After 3 Go Missing; 2 Bodies Recovered

The U.S. Coast Guard said Tuesday that a 15-year-old was the only person rescued alive after three boaters were reported missing off Alaska earlier this week. Search crews found the teenager Monday near the Alaska coast, gripping the side of a capsized vessel. Authorities said he was in distress and facing a medical emergency when rescuers reached him, and the Coast Guard reported he was pulled from the overturned skiff showing signs of hypothermia. The two other mariners on an 18-foot fishing vessel were found dead after the boat overturned about 4 miles east of St. Lawrence Island. The vessel had been expected back by 3 a.m. Sunday, but severe weather and low visibility delayed rescue efforts until Monday morning.
