An investigation has been launched after the body of a woman was discovered in the English Channel, approximately five miles off the coast of Brighton on Saturday (April 19).
The emergency response was triggered just before midday after a member of the public spotted the body floating in the water. Brighton RNLI’s B-class lifeboat Random Harvest was paged at 11:52am and quickly launched to recover the woman from the sea.
“Enquiries are ongoing, alongside partner agencies, to identify the woman and establish the full circumstances of the situation.”

Authorities have appealed for anyone with information that could assist the investigation to come forward.
