Search for missing fisherman suspended
The search of
the wreckage of the fishing vessel ‘Wendy J’ off the
West Coast is now complete.
The body of missing fisherman
Kieran Lynch has not been seen since the vessel sank on 14
September.
Police divers yesterday searched the water near
the entrance to Smoothwater Bay, Haast.
Good weather and
visibility allowed them to spend a full day searching, and
clear the wreckage and its surrounds.
Unfortunately, Mr
Lynch's body was not found.
The formal search has now been
suspended, and is subject to review if new information
emerges.
