Man dies on small boat during Channel crossing
The Guardian
|April 19, 2025
Police are investigating after a man died while trying to reach the UK on a cross-Channel dinghy yesterday after a "medical emergency".
It was the second death reported in the Channel in two days, although a body found earlier on Thursday has not yet been formally identified, so it is not known if they were also making a crossing.
Yesterday's death is the first confirmed since last month. According to the International Organisation for Migration, between 11 January and 20 March this year there have been 10 deaths in the Channel.
A Kent police spokesperson said: "Kent police was called at 8.26am on Friday 18 April 2025 after a Border Force patrol responded to a medical emergency on a small boat in the English Channel. A man has since been pronounced deceased. Officers have launched an investigation to establish the circumstances leading to the man's death.
