A body discovered this morning is suspected to be that of Dan Nicholls.

A member of the public reported finding the body at 8.10am in Rottingdean and the body is currently being recovered from the scene.  

Mr Nicholls was swept out to sea along with his friend Freddie Reynolds after a "dare" went wrong in the early hours of Saturday morning.  

DCI Carwyn Hughes said: "Dan's family has been informed and has yet to make a formal identification but it is likely to be Dan. We are supporting them in what has been a horrendous weekend for all those involved. Our search is now suspended while identification is confirmed."

Mr Reynold's body was discovered yesterday.
