Tragedy has struck a UK seaside town after a woman’s body was found on the beach.
The woman was discovered on Gorleston Beach in Gorlestone-on-Sea, Norfolk, on Tuesday morning and was sadly pronounced dead at the scene. Police said they are now investigating her death and have informed her family.
Her death is not being treated as suspicious, Norfolk Police has said. The woman’s name and details of when she was last seen have not been released, although police have confirmed this was a recent case and not a historical disappearance.
