(about 9 hours later) | |
The body of a Londonderry woman has been found washed ashore in County Donegal. | |
The coastguard at Malin Head were called to the scene at Rockstown Bay near Clonmany at about 18:30 BST on Monday. | |
It is on the north eastern side of Lough Swilly. | |
The Police Service of Northern Ireland assisted gardaĆ (Irish police) after it emerged that the woman was originally from Derry. | |
Craig Smith of Foyle Search and Rescue said the woman's death highlighted how "dangerous the water is in the good weather and that it could just take a life at any moment". | |
"Unfortunately this week there have been a lot of tragedies, especially water-related incidents and it is another one of the water-related incidents with the good weather," he added. | |
Mr Smith said a "massive search" took place on Monday evening in an attempt to locate the woman. |
