Police find three bodies near Cliffs of Dover

The bodies of a man and a woman were discovered during the search for a missing man, also found dead.

POLICE IN THE United Kingdom have discovered the bodies of two men and a woman near the Cliffs of Dover.

Kent Police were originally called to Langdon Cliffs shortly before 2.30pm this afternoon due to concern for the welfare of a man.

His body was later discovered at the foot of cliffs by the coastguard, police said in a statement.

During this search, the coastguard unit discovered a further two bodies – a man and a woman.

However, Kent Police do not believe their deaths are linked to the first man.

    Fair play to you Seanie, must have seemed funny in your head. Three people dead is such a funny thing isn’t it?

    I lived in Eastbourne, back in the day, and BEachy Head was close by. Someone said to me that it was a famous spot for suicides but I didn’t believe it. I ended up working with a lad who used to do tours at the base of the cliff and went along for a walk with him one day. I was truly horrified at it. He had all the macabre facts and figures, none of which I can recall now. But a place of such beauty to have a horrible legacy attached is really sad.
