Body recovered in search for girl missing at sea

A body has been recovered in the search for a missing girl, 15, who was swept into the sea off the East Yorkshire coast, Humberside Police has said.

Grace Keeling went into the water at Withernsea on 2 January. Her mother, Sarah Keeling, 45, and passer-by Mark Ratcliffe, 67, both died after trying to save her.

While formal identification is yet to take place, police said they believed this person to be Grace Keeling.

Det Supt Simon Vickers said: “This was a deeply upsetting incident, and I cannot begin to understand the heartbreak felt by all the loved ones of those involved.”

Vickers said they had spoken to Grace Keeling’s family and updated them, and were continuing to support them with specially trained officers.

“Understandably, they have asked for their privacy, and we would ask that this is respected,” he said.

Police said her body was discovered at about 08:30 GMT on Thursday following extensive searches over the past 14 days.
