Drowned Teen's Body Recovered
The body of Sean McNair, 17, from Creggan in the North was found on Sunday - eight days after he drowned in Lough Swilly, Co Donegal.
The body was recovered during searches after the 17-year-old went missing eight days ago after he went into the water at Rathmullen Pier.
Diving teams, the coastguard and local people had been taking part in searches.
The Londonderry teenager's family are said to be 'relieved' that his body has been recovered and they can now bury him at home.
Father Stephen McLaughlin, who also knows the McNair family, said on BBC NI today they are now concentrating on planning Sean's funeral.
"The abiding mood yesterday was one of relief," he added. Malin Head coastguard said the teenager's body was recovered at about 3.30pm on Saturday.
