The body of a man found in the water off Inishowen on Sunday is believed to be that of a local swimmer.
The body of the man in his 70s was found in the water off Bunagee Pier at Culdaff at around 11.15am.
The man has been named locally as Brendan Sadler from Pound Street in Carndonagh.
Mr Sadler, a retired teacher at Crana College in Buncrana, swam regularly in the area.
He was taken from the water on Sunday and efforts were made to revive him but failed.
His remains were then taken to Letterkenny University Hospital where a post mortem was due to take place.
It is understood that Gardai are treating Mr Sadler’s death as a tragic accident.
Funeral mass will take place at the Church of the Sacred Heart in Carndonagh tomorrow (Wednesday) at 11am with interment afterwards in the adjoining cemetery.
