A man was fighting for his life today after falling from a 100ft cliff.

The man, in his mid-twenties, was found at midnight by a passer-by at the foot of cliffs behind the Asda supermarket at Roedean, Brighton.

He was taken to the Royal Sussex County Hospital, Brighton, and later transferred to a neurological hospital in Southampton.

The man, who lives in Brighton, suffered serious multiple injuries and was said to be in a coma.

Crime has been ruled out.
