A MAN has been found dead after falling from a cliff.

Emergency services were called to the cliffs in Eastbourne, near Belle Tout Lighthouse, on Saturday, April 2.

Police said a man was seen to fall from the cliffs by a member of the public at about 5.50pm.

He was confirmed dead at the scene.

“There are no suspicious circumstances,” a police spokesman said.
