Overview

• A man in his 30s was pulled from the water by HM Coastguard at Skegness just after 6pm on Tuesday and was pronounced dead at the scene by Lincolnshire Police, who have notified his family.
• The latest fatality follows the drowning of a woman in her 60s at the same beach on Friday despite RNLI lifeboat crews’ rescue efforts and on-beach CPR.
• This marks multiple seaside deaths and near-fatal rescues along UK coasts this summer, including incidents in Cornwall, as emergency services confront rip currents and sudden medical emergencies.
• Authorities have opened coroner investigations into these non-suspicious cases and are preparing reports while keeping next of kin informed.
• Local officials and lifeguard organisations are calling for extended beach patrols, clearer warning signage and public awareness campaigns to highlight coastal hazards.
