A MIGRANT has died after a small boat sank while trying to cross the Channel yesterday.

French authorities said 62 people were pulled from the water after the “overloaded” boat broke up.
The French assistance and rescue intervention tug (RIAS) Abeille Normandie recovered 50 people, while the RNLI recovered two people and the Border Force Ranger nine people. All those rescued were transferred to the Abeille.
A French navy helicopter assisting in the search spotted an unconscious person in the water, French authorities said.
They were pulled from the water by the RNLI crews but declared dead by the medical team on board the French tug.
