A coroner’s inquest hears evidence about the circumstances surrounding the death of a six-year-old girl in a beach incident in Shoreham that also involved her parents and sister. The reports describe a case where members of the public were seen getting into difficulty in the sea, prompting a rescue response.

Both outlets state that the RNLI is contacted after reports of people in trouble in the water. According to the accounts presented to the hearing, the organisation responds to calls described as involving “members of the public getting into trouble in the sea.” The coverage characterizes the girl’s final days as “tragic,” but they focus on the same procedural detail: the RNLI response is triggered by those reports.

While the articles share the same core fact about the RNLI being alerted, they differ in wording and framing. One outlet emphasizes the “last moments” of the child, while the other refers more broadly to her “last days.” Neither source adds further specific investigative findings beyond the RNLI response statement.
