September 29, 2025

A CHILD has died off the coast of France while attempting to cross the English Channel in a small boat, according to local media.

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. The news outlet also said 48 migrants were cared for by emergency services, but the boat carried on across the Channel.
