A body has been found washed up on the beach after a search operation off Brighton Palace Pier during the heavy winds of Storm Noa.
Coastguard helicopters and RNLI lifeboats were involved in the rescue effort, which was launched on Wednesday afternoon (April 12) after a report of a person in the sea off the coast of the East Sussex city. The body was found this morning (Thursday April 13) at 8.15am, Sussex Police said.
It comes after a woman also died after being spotted in the water off Brighton beach on Tuesday. Wednesday’s search came as Storm Noa caused havoc across England and Wales, with 75mph gusts of wind leaving hundreds of properties without power, trees down and causing travel delays.
