TWO bodies were found at sea this morning after a fisherman spotted one and contacted the coastguard.

He spotted the body around 2.5 miles from Shoreham Harbour, and it was reported to the Coastguard at around 7am.

A Shoreham RNLI lifeboat was launched to recover the body, and on their way back to shore noticed another body in the water just before 8am.

Both bodies were taken to Brighton Marina where they were handed to the coroner's officer.

Sussex Police say neither of the bodies have been formally identified.
