A body has been found in the search for a missing girl, 15, who was swept into the sea along with her mother off the East Yorkshire coast, Humberside Police has said.
Grace Keeling went missing after she and her mother, Sarah, 45, went into the water at Withernsea on 2 January. A passer-by, Mark Ratcliffe, 67, died after trying to save them.
The force said emergency services had attempted to retrieve the body, which was found among the rocks on the beach at Withernsea on Thursday at 08:30 GMT, but was unsuccessful due to tide times and other conditions.
Specialist officers have been in contact with Grace’s family and have asked people to “refrain from speculation” and “respect their privacy”.
