Police and the Air Ambulance were called to Whitby harbour this morning.
North Yorkshire Police say they were called at 8.50am Thursday 15 December by HM Coastguard at Whitby with a report of the recovery of a man who had been found in the water near the marina.
Police and ambulance services attended the scene, but sadly despite emergency services efforts, the man has died.
Police say the identity of the man has now been established and say his death is not being treated as suspicious.
This is the Coast is committed to providing a daily local news service for the Yorkshire Coast. We are a small locally owned and operated business which employs professional journalists and reporters. We do not receive any public funding or grants and we are entirely funded by our local commercial operations. We enjoy fabulous support from local businesses who work with us on their advertising and marketing campaigns, but the cost of providing high quality, well researched, fact checked local news coverage is significant.
If you appreciate what This is the Coast does, and would like to help support our journalism, please consider supporting us on a monthly basis today.
A small contribution from all our readers would really help support independent journalism for the Yorkshire Coast.
