Lowestoft capsize: Two men reported missing to police | |
(about 1 hour later) | |
Two men have been reported missing to police in Norfolk as a shoreline search is conducted for the occupants of a capsized speedboat. | |
Lifeboats and a helicopter searched the sea off Lowestoft, Suffolk, after the body of a third person was found near Ness Point on Monday afternoon. | |
The overturned speedboat was discovered in the sea close to a beach. | |
The sea search ended at 00:40 GMT but a shore search resumed later, said the Maritime and Coastguard Agency. | |
A number of men are believed to have set out by boat from Great Yarmouth, Norfolk, for a fishing trip on Monday morning. | |
Two men, said by police to be local, have now been reported as missing. | |
A Maritime and Coastguard Agency spokesman said: "Coastguard rescue teams from Lowestoft and Southwold will carry out a shoreline search this morning at low water. There are no plans to carry out a sea search." | |
Police are trying to trace the next of kin of the man found in the sea near Ness Point. | |
The coastguard received a call at about 14:00 GMT on Monday reporting a man in the water at Ness Point. | |
Attempts were made to revive him, but he was pronounced dead at the scene. |
