On September 10, 2026, a 15-year-old boy named Derek Parker Aghnaanga was rescued by the Coast Guard after being stranded for nearly three days in Alaska’s Bering Sea. He had gone out fishing with his brother Sidney Kulowiyi and cousin Barton Rookok on September 4, 2026, but their boat capsized near St. Lawrence Island. While Aghnaanga survived by clinging to the overturned vessel, both of his relatives perished; his cousin slipped away during the night and his brother's body remained under the skiff. Rescuers found Aghnaanga suffering from hypothermia and hoisted him to safety with the assistance of a fishing boat crew.
