A man who drowned in the Royal Military Canal at Rye on Sunday has been named.

Theodore Cole, 18, of Rye Road, Rye Foreign, drowned after jumping in to the canal to cool off from the sweltering heat.

An inquest will be held but no date has been fixed.

Police, meanwhile, were withholding the identity of a man who drowned in the sea off Hove on Sunday.

A spokeswoman said they were trying to contact his parents, who were abroad.

Swimmers pulled the Londoner's body ashore off Third Avenue before giving him the kiss of life.
