Hornsea is a coastal town in East Yorkshire, known for Hornsea Mere, tourism, and a once-thriving pottery industry. Coastal erosion and climate threats loom.
A 13-year-old boy has died after entering open water at Hornsea's South Promenade on Tuesday. Emergency services conducted an extensive search; a body was recovered early Wednesday. Police are not treating the death as suspicious and are preparing a file for the coroner. The incident follows a series of water-related deaths during hot weather.
