A tragic incident unfolded off the coast of County Donegal, Republic of Ireland, when a fisherman in his 40s lost his life after falling overboard. The event occurred at approximately 13:25 local time near Arranmore on Tuesday. Despite being airlifted to Sligo University Hospital by the Garda (Irish Police), the man was pronounced dead upon arrival. According to Irish broadcaster RTÉ, the deceased was not originally from Ireland but had been a long-term resident of Greencastle, Inishowen. A spokesperson from the Department of Transport revealed that the Coast Guard marine rescue coordination centre in Malin swiftly responded to a mayday call from the vessel. The crew of the fishing vessel managed to recover the man from the water. In the aftermath, a technical examination of the vessel has been conducted, and both the Marine Casualty Investigation Board and the Health and Safety Authority have been notified to investigate the incident further.
