Two men dead after boat capsizes in WA

A capsized boat will be recovered off the West Australian coast after the bodies of two men were found nearby.

WA Police said they would work to recover the boat about 15km off the coast of Dampier, in the state's northwest, on Monday.

The bodies of a 24-year-old man and the 29-year-old owner of the vessel were found soon after the boat was spotted overturned south of Mawby Island on Sunday morning.

The men were identified later that day and their next of kin were notified.

Police believe the men were the only people onboard the vessel and a report will be prepared for the coroner.
