The teen survived for days in frigid water before a nearby fishing vessel pulled him aboard, while his brother and cousin died.
- On Monday, the United States Coast Guard rescued a 15-year-old boy clinging to an overturned 18-foot vessel approximately four miles east of St. Lawrence Island, Alaska, after days adrift in frigid waters.
- The fishing vessel departed Savoonga on Friday and was due back early Sunday; weather conditions prevented the Coast Guard HC-130 Hercules aircrew from launching their search until Monday morning.
- Captain Adam White of the Northwest Explorer reported the water was 10 degrees Celsius when his crew spotted the teen four miles from St. Lawrence Island and hauled him aboard.
