A climber from Sussex has died after falling 80ft from a rock face.

The man, in his early 20s, was climbing Dewerstone Rock, near Shaugh Prior in Devon, when he fell on Saturday.

He suffered head and internal injuries and was airlifted by helicopter to Derriford Hospital, where he died.

Police believe the man and his family came from Hove. He was using a car registered to a woman in Hove, believed to be his mother.

A spokesman for Devon and Cornwall police said formal identification had not yet taken place. No inquest has yet been scheduled.
