Three boaters were reported missing after their fishing boat capsized in the Bering Sea near Alaska, according to the U.S. Coast Guard. Two of the individuals were later found dead, while the third, a 15-year-old boy, was rescued after spending several days clinging to the overturned vessel. The search for the missing boaters began early Monday following a report from Alaska State Troopers that the group had not returned from their trip and that their 18-foot fishing boat had been overdue. The search was delayed due to harsh weather conditions and poor visibility, which prevented the Coast Guard from initiating operations until Monday morning. A Coast Guard aircraft eventually spotted the teenager clinging to the capsized boat and experiencing hypothermia. The boat was found approximately four miles off the coast of St. Lawrence Island, a sparsely populated area in northern Alaska known for its rough and frigid waters. The teen was rescued using a raft and equipment deployed from the air, with assistance from a good Samaritan boat that took him aboard before heading to the nearby port city of Nome. The bodies of the two deceased boaters were also recovered from the water and transported to Nome using the same good Samaritan boat. The Coast Guard expressed condolences to the families and communities affected by the tragedy and acknowledged the efforts of all involved responders. The fishing boat had departed from Savoonga, a small village on the northern coast of St. Lawrence Island, on Friday with an expected return time of around 3 a.m. Sunday. According to the Anchorage Daily News, the two deceased individuals were the teen’s brother and cousin. The survivor reportedly told the captain of the good Samaritan boat that he had remained on the overturned vessel for several days after the accident. St. Lawrence Island, located about 100 miles from the Alaskan mainland and closer to Russia across the Bering Strait, is a remote area with limited infrastructure, making rescue operations particularly challenging in such conditions.
