It is the second body to be found in Brighton in recent months.

Emergency services scoured the coastline off Brighton beach from 7.15am on September 24 after reports came in of a man struggling in the sea near the Palace Pier.
Helicopters, lifeboats and even a specialist coastguard aeroplane were called in to help find him, however the operation was stood down at around 3pm.
Later that evening, emergency services were seen on the beach at the bottom of West Street after a body was found.
