Death is second reported in two days, as data shows record number of people have crossed Channel so far this year
Police are investigating after a person died while travelling to the UK on a cross-Channel dinghy on Friday after a “medical emergency”.
It was the second death reported in the Channel in two days, although the body found earlier on Thursday has not yet been formally identified, so it is not known whether they were also making a crossing.
