The body of a man has been found at a treetop protest camp.
An ambulance was called to the protest camp at Titnore Woods, near Worthing at 4.20pm today.
An unidentified man, aged around 25, was found dead.
Police said they were investigating the death and have not yet determined a cause.
Protestors have been living at a camp in the woods since May last year.
They are fighting plans to widen and straighten a road through the ancient woodland to accommodate new homes and a Tesco supermarket.
