Game of rock-jumping into sea ends in tragedy
A change in wind direction was believed to have claimed the life of the man, who died in hospital after being rescued off the Causeway Coast in Co Antrim.
The man, who has not been named, drifted out to sea with two other men after jumping off rocks on Saturday near Dunluce Castle - a tourist attraction along a coast that also includes the Giant’s Causeway. The emergency services received a 999 call from a 14-year-old girl who was with the group but who was on the shore when the men were swept out to sea.
