The inquest into the deaths of a father and son during a fishing trip to Donegal in June 2020 has heard that the man's other son had tried to save them
53-year-old Jonathon Christian and his 17-year-old son Jacob had travelled from the Isle of Man to Lough Keel in Donegal, along with 15-year-old Benjamin.
Declan Foley, who looks after the pump house at Lough Keel, told the inquest how he saw Benjamin sitting on the rocks with his head down, wearing no top, shoes or socks. Roisin McBride, the officer in charge at Mulroy Coast Guard, said she received a call at 2.56pm from the Marine Rescue sub centre at Malin Head requesting assistance after two people were reported to have entered the water.
