Mystery as man in his 20s found dead on popular beach in UK seaside resort

A BODY of a man in his 20s has tragically been found on a beach in a popular UK seaside resort.

The man was found by emergency services on a beach in Blackpool’s North Promenade on Saturday morning.

He 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.”

It comes after 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.

Cops 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 get in touch with them.

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

Ambulance crews, the coastguard team, and the RNLI rushed to the scene.

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.

“Formal identification has yet to take place.

“The family of Colette have been informed of the discovery.

“A file will be prepared for the coroner.”
