Migrant dies in Channel crossing attempt

A man has died trying to cross the English Channel, Kent Police says.
The RNLI said it had launched its all-weather lifeboat and a group of people were brought to Dover in a Border Force boat on Friday morning.
In a statement, the RNLI said: “Dover RNLI’s all-weather lifeboat was tasked by HM Coastguard at 8.15 BST… to an incident in the Channel.”
Kent Police said they were called 10 minutes afterwards following a Border Force patrol responding to a medical emergency on a small boat in the English Channel. They confirmed a man had been pronounced dead.
A blue forensics tent has been set up outside the lifeboat station in Dover.
