A 15-year-old boy is rescued after spending days clinging to an overturned fishing skiff in Alaska’s Bering Sea. The US Coast Guard says an aircrew locates him on top of the capsized vessel during a search and hoists him to safety.

Authorities say the boy was fishing with two others near Alaska’s St. Lawrence Island when the small boat capsizes in frigid water. His older brother and a cousin drown, according to rescuers. Several outlets report the group was last seen leaving St. Lawrence Island on Friday and were not expected back until early Sunday, prompting authorities to begin searching.

Different reports vary slightly on how long the teenager remains on the boat—some describe nearly three days, while others say for days—but all agree on the same basic sequence: a capsized 18-foot fishing vessel, a prolonged search in remote waters, the teen’s survival despite hypothermia symptoms, and the deaths of the other two family members.

The rescue occurs near St. Lawrence Island, a remote area closer to Russia than to the rest of the United States, with local and federal responders involved in locating and recovering the survivor.
