The teenager was found near St. Lawrence Island after Coast Guard crews launched a search when he and two relatives were reported missing.
The boy’s brother and cousin died after the small boat capsized, according to rescuers. Video shows the teenager in a bright yellow jacket clinging to the overturned vessel as the crew of a fishing boat pulled him aboard.
He was suffering from symptoms of hypothermia and was warmed with blankets and hot packs.
