A fisherman has died in hospital after the boat he was on sank off the south Cornwall coast.
The two crew members onboard the 35ft (10.6m) vessel, the Heather Anne, were rescued from the water in Gerrans Bay, on Tuesday at about 22:15 GMT.
One man was taken to the Royal Cornwall Hospital at Treliske by helicopter and died overnight, coastguards said.
The other man's condition has not been revealed. Coastguards said they were unsure what caused the boat to sink.
The fishing vessel, the Lauren Kate, rescued both men from the bay.
The second man was taken ashore to Mevagissey by lifeboat and transferred to an ambulance.
A coastguard spokeswoman said: "There is no indications as to why the fishing vessel sank, but we hope to gather more information on what happened later today."
