The death of a man who fell into the North Sea is being investigated by officers from Cleveland Police's murder team, as Teeside Live reports. The incident saw the man fall overboard from a transfer vessel at around 2.05pm on Monday, September 26, as he attempted to move between vessels.
His fellow crew members rescued him from the water and performed casualty care until the emergency services arrived. However, the man was pronounced dead not long after.
A post-mortem will take place in due course to determine the cause of death. A major enquiry team and homicide detectives will also investigate the circumstances of the tragic incident.
