The 36 foot fishing vessel Heather Anne sank in Gerrans Bay near Falmouth, England.  The two crewmen on board were rescued by a nearby fishing vessel Lauren Kate who witnessed the sinking.   The Lauren Kate contacted the Coast Guard  who dispatched a RAF helicopter and the local RNLI lifeboats to the scene.  The helicopter airlifted one crewman as he was in need of immediate treatment.  Unfortunately, he did not recover and died later in hospital.  The other crewman was taken by lifeboat back to Mevagissey.  The cause of the sinking was not reported.  Authorities are conducting an investigation into the incident.
