Lowestoft boat capsize: Man dies and two others feared missing | |
(about 2 hours later) | |
A man has died and two others are feared to be missing after a speedboat overturned off the Suffolk coast. | |
The coastguard received a call at about 14:00 GMT reporting a man in the water and an overturned boat at Ness Point. | |
Attempts were made to revive the man, but he later died. The coastguard said a search for two other people possibly on board would resume on Tuesday. | |
Coastguard rescue co-ordinator Peter Byatt said the 18ft (5.5m) speedboat had been recovered. | |
RNLI crews from Lowestoft, Southwold and Gorleston, along with Lowestoft Coastguard, were involved in the search. | |
Lifeboats had been searching the local shoreline throughout the afternoon and evening, aided by a police helicopter and an RAF search and rescue helicopter. | |
