Son of former MEP feared drowned in US

A son of former Irish MEP Kathy Sinnott is missing and feared drowned after disappearing while swimming with friends in the US earlier this week.

Twenty-two-year-old Kevin Sinnott disappeared at a flooded lake near Dawsonville in Georgia, where he was studying philosophy.

A body has reportedly been recovered from the lake, but no positive identification has yet been made.

Ms Sinnott and two of her other sons flew to the US yesterday.
