Body Found in Withernsea Search for Missing 15-Year-Old Grace Keeling

Recovery remains paused pending safe conditions at the rock-strewn site.

Overview

  • Humberside Police search advisors located a body among rocks near Holmpton Road and Central Promenade on Thursday morning.
  • Tide times and hazardous conditions prevented a safe retrieval before high tide, so operations were halted and the area was secured overnight with a cordon.
  • No formal identification has been made, and specialist officers have informed Grace Keeling’s family.
  • Multi-agency teams including HM Coastguard and the RNLI are assessing how to complete the recovery safely.
  • Inquests opened earlier this week recorded drowning as the primary cause of death for Sarah Keeling and Mark Ratcliffe, who died trying to rescue Grace on 2 January.
