The death of the youngster, who was believed to be a teenager, was reported a day after two women died attempting to cross to the UK in a separate incident off the northern coast of France.
According to Calais-based Nord Littoral, an investigation has been launched into the latest death, which happened at about 6.30am yesterday at Ecault beach, in Saint-Etienne-au-Mont.
