Two Jamaican fishermen who were reported missing at sea last month have been found by Honduran authorities.
But the Jamaica Defence Force says one of the men died during their 35-day ordeal at sea.
The JDF says the strong regional cooperation with its partners in Honduras led to the location of the fishermen on Wednesday.
The men's families have been notified of their status and the JDF and the Honduran authorities are coordinating the repatriation efforts.
The men were reported missing on October 29 and an extensive search and rescue operation launched.
The JDF is reminding all marine interests that overdue vessels or vessels in distress can be reported to the Joint Rescue Coordination Centre at (876) 967-8193.
