SEATTLE (AP) — A 13-year-old boy who was among five people on an 18-foot boat that capsized last weekend off Camano Island, Wash., has died. A 68-year-old man died earlier.
The King County medical examiner’s office said Monday that Austin Anglin died Sunday at a Seattle hospital.
The five were shrimping when large waves swamped the boat Saturday. Fishermen in nearby boats pulled four adults out of the water. A Coast Guard rescue swimmer was able to pull the boy from under the boat. Authorities say he had been in the water about 45 minutes.
The Daily Herald identifies the man who died as Wilfred Whetham. The newspaper says it was his boat and the teen was his nephew.
The Coast Guard says no one aboard the boat was wearing a life jacket.
