Two people have died after a boat capsized off the coast of Co Donegal yesterday afternoon.

It happened at around 4.15pm, in the water off Malin Head.

A man in his 60s - thought to be from Co Donegal - was pulled from the water, but was pronounced dead at the scene.

The man's body was taken to Letterkenny University Hospital, and a post-mortem will be carried out.
