British man rescued in Malaysia says his 14-year-old son has died

The search for a 14-year-old Dutch boy who went missing during a dive in Malaysia has been called off after his rescued British father said he drowned after becoming too weak, authorities said.

Adrian Chesters, 46, and Alexia Molina, 18, from France, were found by fishermen four days after they disappeared off a southern Malaysian island and drifted some 100km away.

They were discovered early on Saturday in neighbouring Indonesian waters and taken to hospital, the Malaysian Maritime Enforcement Agency said.
