Missing fisherman's body recovered
The body of an 84-year-old fisherman, who had gone missing in Lamberts Bay, Western Cape, was recovered on Sunday morning, the National Sea Rescue Institute said.
His body was found on the beach at Lamberts Bay, spokesman Craig Lambinon said in a statement.
He went missing on Friday after the boat he was on capsized. Two other men who were with him, believed to be in their early 70s, were found by another fishing boat in the area. They were taken to a nearby clinic and treated for mild hypothermia.
"It is believed that the missing fisherman was not wearing a life jacket," Lambinon said.
"Sincerest condolences have been extended to family. Police have opened an inquest docket."
