A young man's body has been found washed up on a beach, police said.

A member of the public discovered the body, believed to be of a man in his 20s, by Hastings' derelict pier in East Sussex at 7.30am on Sunday morning.

It is thought the man, who officers have appealed for help in trying to identify, had been in the water for up to 24 hours, a Sussex Police spokeswoman said.

Detective Inspector Andy Harbour said: "The man, who we believe is in his 20s, was found washed up on the beach. We are treating his death as unexplained.

"We are doing all we can to identify him. He has short dark brown hair, is about 5ft 7in and was wearing a shiny black jacket and stone-washed jeans. In his pocket were keys to a Renault car."

Anyone with information is asked to call Sussex Police on 101.
