The body of a man swept away as he tried to rescue his dog has been recovered this morning from the Bannagh River near Kesh, Co Fermanagh.
The man was named this afternoon as Martin Logue (34) from Glen Road, Drumquin, Co Tyrone.
His body was recovered from the Bannagh River by relatives and local people. He vanished yesterday in strong currents in the river, which flows into Lough Erne.
His body was recovered not long after the search resumed today following a failed attempt to find it in darkness last night.
An Irish Coastguard helicopter from Dublin, the RNLI lifeboat from Enniskillen and police were called in after the man got into difficulties at Drummoney Falls, on a stretch of the river going down towards lower Lough Erne.
A police spokesman said: "We think the man was attempting to rescue a dog in difficulties but then fell in. The river was moving quite fast, about four miles an hour, because of the heavy rain."
