Background

Brighton's seafront is one of England's most frequented coastal areas, and the city supports a large student population through two universities, the University of Brighton and the University of Sussex. Student nightlife events are common in the area, particularly during the academic term. Sussex Police is the responsible force for Brighton and Hove and has not publicly classified the deaths as suspicious at this stage. Standard procedure following the recovery of bodies at sea involves formal identification, a post-mortem examination, and referral to a coroner.
