A BODY recovered off Howth yesterday is that of Mr Glen Styles, who has been missing since a yacht accident in Dublin Bay last month.

Yesterday morning, the fishing vessel Silver Strand spotted the body of Mr Styles in the water, one mile east of Ireland's Eye. The coastguard was alerted and the body was brought ashore by the Howth inshore lifeboat at 10.10 a.m.

The yacht Debonair collided with a merchant ship as it returned to Malahide marina after the St Patrick's festival fireworks early on Sunday, May 20th. The accident claimed the lives of Mr Styles's brother, Mark, who was the owner of the yacht, Ms Eleanor Cullen and Mr Rowan Smith. One survivor, Mr Philip Daly, received hospital treatment.
