Lifeboats tasked by Belfast Coastguard at 13:28 today to reports of a person in the water in the Gawleys Gate / Bartens Bay area.
Lough Neagh Rescue crews carried out a detailed search alongside Lough Neagh Coastguard Rescue Team and the Irish Coastguard Search & Rescue Helicopter from Dublin.
During the search, a body was recovered from the water.
Our thoughts are with the family and friends of the deceased at this very difficult time.
We would like to thank all agencies involved for their assistance and professionalism throughout the operation.
