A man from Co Roscommon drowned in a freak accident while holidaying in the Balearic Islands.
Mr Declan Frain (28), from D'Alton Terrace, Ballaghaderreen, was on a boat trip off Ibiza when the accident happened on Monday.
It is understood Mr Frain jumped from the boat into the water. When he failed to resurface, his friend, Mr Adrian Linnane, tried to rescue him.
Members of Mr Frain's family are travelling to Ibiza to bring his body home.
Meanwhile, an autopsy carried out yesterday on two Irish tourists found dead in their hotel swimming pool in Sardinia on Tuesday found that death was due to drowning. The post-mortem examination, carried out by a state pathologist at the Institute of Legal Medicine in Sassari, Sardinia, seems to confirm that both Ms Barbara Mary Reeves (25) and her partner, Mr Gerard Shane O'Brien (32), were the victims of a tragic accident.
The young couple, who had arrived at the Hotel Oasis in Alghero early on Monday morning, were spotted lying on the bottom of the hotel swimming pool at around 2.20 pm on Tuesday.
The alarm was immediately raised, but both were pronounced dead on arrival at Alghero's main hospital.
Mr O'Brien was from Knockalisheen, outside Meelick, Co Clare, while Ms Reeves was from Keating Street in the Penneywell area of Limerick. Relatives of both Ms Reeves and Mr O'Brien are expected to arrive in Sardinia today. Both bodies are likely to be flown home in the next few days.
Meanwhile, gardai have named the man who died in a boating accident off the coast of Cork on Wednesday evening.
