Body Found on Withernsea Beach in Search for Missing Teen Grace Keeling

Police paused recovery because tides and rocky terrain made the site unsafe.

Overview

  • Detectives said Humberside Police Search Advisors discovered the body at about 8:30am on Thursday.
  • Emergency services and HM Coastguard secured the location near Holmpton Road with a cordon in place.
  • Specialist teams attempted a delicate recovery but operations were halted until conditions allow a safe return.
  • No formal identification has been made, and officers informed Grace Keeling’s family and urged against speculation.
  • The January 2 incident led to the deaths of Sarah Keeling and bystander Mark Ratcliffe, and extensive multi-agency efforts have been constrained by winter weather; further updates are pending.
