15-year-old missing at sea after falling off boat

A 15-year-old boy has gone missing at sea after he fell off a boat on Saturday.

The incident occurred around 4 p.m. off Fullerton village, Cedros.

Reports are that Matthew Sookoo was sitting on the edge of a pirogue in the company of other people and the boat captain.

However, it was when the captain turned the boat that the teenager lost his balance and fell into the sea.

The occupants of the boat frantically searched for the teen but he was not found.

Relatives and friends intensified the search up to 9:30pm Saturday night, but there was still no sign of Sookoo.
