A young girl is fighting for her life in hospital after three family members die in a sea incident off the West Sussex coast, police say. Emergency services respond to reports from the Shoreham area, where the incident involves the family in the water.
Sources report that investigators believe the group entered the sea for a swim on Tuesday afternoon. The girl survives and is taken to hospital, while the three other family members die at the scene or shortly after being found. The available reports focus on the police assessment and the rescue response, with no additional details provided about the circumstances that lead to the deaths.
While coverage is broadly consistent on the number of people involved, the location and the fact that the family entered the water for swimming, outlets differ mainly in wording and emphasis. The Belfast Telegraph provides no further summary details, while other outlets highlight the girl’s condition and the presumed purpose of the trip into the sea.
