A woman’s body has been found on a popular beach in Norfolk.

The woman was pronounced dead at the scene following the discovery in Gorleston, Norfolk, at around 9am yesterday.

Norfolk Police says her death is not being treated as suspicious.

The force hasn’t revealed her identity or when she was last seen – but confirmed the case was recent.

The woman’s family has been informed and a file is being prepared for the coroner.

East of England Ambulance Service, Norfolk Police forensic officers and HM Coastguard attended the scene.

Just two days earlier the body of a man in his twenties was found on a beach in Blackpool.

He was discovered on the North Promenade and was pronounced dead at the scene.

It is understood that the police are not treating the death as suspicious – and the case will shortly be sent to a coroner.

A Lancashire Police spokesman said: ‘Our thoughts are with his family at this very sad time.’

Another body was tragically discovered ‘near a sewage outlet’ during a beach search for a missing woman.

Colette Marshall, 44, went missing on February 1 from Perranporth, Cornwall.

Police released two photographs of Colette in a desperate attempt to find her and said they were concerned for her welfare.

They issued an urgent appeal and asked anyone who knew of her whereabouts to contact them.

On Saturday it was confirmed that a body had been found ‘just off the sewage outlet at Drozskyn’ near Perranporth.

In a statement, Devon and Cornwall Police said: ‘A body has been located in the search for 44-year-old Colette Marshall who had been reported missing from Perranporth.

‘A body was discovered along the coastline in the Perranporth area Saturday 8 February.
