Key Points:
- A 15-year-old Alaska teenager, Derek Parker Aghnaanga, survived nearly two days atop an overturned fishing skiff in the Bering Sea after being thrown into the water with his older brother and cousin.
- Aghnaanga told rescuers that his cousin slipped away during the night and that his older brother, Sidney Kulowiyi, remained trapped beneath the skiff; both unfortunately died.
- The U.S. Coast Guard spotted Aghnaanga and guided the fishing vessel Northwest Explorer to rescue him, while also recovering the bodies of his brother and cousin.
- Aghnaanga was treated for hypothermia after the rescue, and the three had been reported missing following a fishing trip from the village of Savoonga, prompting a multi-agency search effort.
- Sidney Kulowiyi was remembered as a humble commercial fishing captain and provider for the Savoonga community, leaving behind children; the cause of the skiff's capsizing remains unknown.
