Earlier this morning, a tragic incident occurred at an Isle of Wight beach. Reports came in that a woman's body was found floating in the water off the Esplanade near Shanklin seafront. The HM Coastguard quickly responded to the call and retrieved the body from the water. Unfortunately, the woman was pronounced dead upon reaching the shore.
At this time, the identity of the woman remains unknown. A helicopter was spotted flying above the scene, navigating through the overcast skies as the coastguard worked to recover the body. To ensure the safety of the public, parts of the beach were cordoned off.
A spokesperson for the coastguard shared, "HM Coastguard received a distress call this morning, September 8th, regarding a person in the water at Shanklin beach. Our team, including the Bembridge and Ventnor Coastguard Rescue Teams, a lifeboat from Bembridge RNLI, and the coastguard search and rescue helicopter from Lee-on-the-Solent, immediately rushed to the scene."
The Hampshire & Isle of Wight Constabulary also responded to the incident, stating, "We were alerted at 9:25am today to a report of a woman's body in the water at Shanklin beach. Our team worked alongside the coastguard to handle the situation. We will provide updates as soon as possible."
Our hearts go out to the family and loved ones of the woman who tragically lost her life today. We hope to learn more about her identity and the circumstances surrounding this devastating event.
