Two crew members of Burnham on Crouch Lifeboat Station assisted Police and Ambulance crews in recovering the body of a gentleman found in the water at Burnham Yacht Harbour.

The Crew members, who included an off duty Police Paramedic, were the last members leaving the station, when they were called upon to assist the other emergency services.

It is believed the gentleman may have fallen into the water when he returned back to a boat he had been staying on.

An inquest will be held next year.
