POLICE and the Coroner’s officer are trying to identify two bodies found in the sea off the East Kent coast during the past 10 days.

The body of a man, about 30 years old, was recovered from the bottom of the cliffs at St Margaret’s. There was no clue to his identification.

Coroner’s officer Dave Lewis and a forensic officer went ashore from Dover lifeboat to help recover the body.

And they still have no idea of the identity of a man was whose badly decomposed body was recovered from the sea by the lifeboat crew five and a half miles east of Dover last Tuesday .

Inquests will be opened when more details are known.
