A Kent man has died after being pulled from the sea while on holiday in Cornwall.

The 75-year-old holidaymaker from Minster-on-Sea was found lifeless at Porth Beach in Newquay.

He was recovered from the water by a member of the public at about 11.15am on Friday and flown to the Royal Cornwall Hospital, but died shortly after.

A Devon and Cornwall Police spokesman said: "The death is not being treated as suspicious."

The man, who is thought to have suffered a medical episode while swimming, has not been named.
