A teenage boy who was rescued from Loch Sheelin in Cavan on Tuesday has passed away. The 15-year-old was recovered from the water shortly before 3pm on Tuesday afternoon, and was taken to CHI, Temple Street. At around the same time as that tragedy unfolded in Cavan, a man in his 70s died while snorkelling at Spencer Harbour, Drunkeeran, Co Leitrim. In Northern Ireland on Wednesday morning, a man aged 55 died after entering the water in Lough Melvin, Co Fermanagh. The tragedies come just days after the death of a 13-year-old boy in the Canal Court area of Scarva in Co Down.
