Gardaí have confirmed that a male juvenile recovered from the River Finn in Stranolar last night has passed away.
A major search and rescue operation got underway yesterday evening after emergency services responded to reports of a person entering the river at Drumboe Woods shortly before 5:40pm. The Coast Guard Rescue 118 helicopter was also brought in to assist the mission.
“A male juvenile was taken from the water and brought by ambulance to Letterkenny University Hospital, where he was pronounced dead,” a garda spokesperson said.
“A post-mortem examination will be arranged and a file will be prepared for the Coroner”.
Donegal Daily understands that the boy is in his early teens and is from the locality.
Funeral arrangements will be confirmed later.
