The bodies of two young men believed to have been trying to cross the Channel into Kent have washed up onto a beach.
They were found yesterday morning in Le Touquet, France, by passersby.
A few hours separated the discoveries of the bodies, believed to have been a 17-year-old Iraqi-Kurdish boy and 22-year-old Iraqi man.
An inflatable dinghy was discovered nearby, along with two oars, a fuel canister and life vest, reports News 24.
This comes after Home Office figures revealed 725 people have arrived in Kent illegally since January 1.
The first confirmed death from a migrant crossing came on August 9 when a woman fell from a small craft off Ramsgate.
