A lifeboat crew recovered the body of a man at the bottom of a cliff in East Sussex.
The man, believed to be in his late fifties, was picked up by the crew of the Newhaven Lifeboat at 10.45am yesterday at the bottom of 200ft high cliffs at Crowlink, between Birling Gap and Cuckmere Haven.
A spokesman for the lifeboat team said: "I don't think he had been down there too long, maybe the last day or so."
The man's body was taken back to the lifeboat station at Newhaven and later transferred to a hospital mortuary.
Mark Hazelby, a spokesman for Sussex Police, said: "The coroner has not released details of the man yet. We are not treating the death as suspicious."
