NI Drowning Victim Named
A man found dead just off the County Antrim coastline at the weekend has been named as Liam McKeegan, 20, from Cushendall.
Mr McKeegan’s body was found on the shoreline at Garron Road in Waterfoot, County Antrim at around 1.00pm on Sunday.
A search for a possible second person ended today, but police still believe that at least one other person may have been with Mr McKeegan on a boat on Saturday night.
Police have appealed for anyone with information to come forward, especially anyone who may have given a lift to somebody walking between Carnlough and Waterfoot between the early hours of Sunday morning and Sunday afternoon.
