A 15-year-old girl has died after being pulled from the sea at a beach.
Humberside Police said two teenagers were airlifted to hospital from Cleethorpes beach after 19:30 BST yesterday.
They both needed urgent medical care and the girl did not recover.
The wellbeing of the other teenager involved, a 15-year-old boy, remains unknown.
The pair were reported missing at around 2pm on Saturday, igniting a search involving a Coastguard helicopter and RNLI lifeboat.
Tributes and flowers have been attached to fences at the beach as people pay their respects to the girl.
A spokesperson for Cleethorpes Coastguard explained a lifeboat was launched at 16:00 BST and found the teenagers ‘some way’ to sea.
A police spokesperson thanked the public for assisting with the search.
In a recent statement, Detective Inspector Nathan Reuben said: ‘Our thoughts and sincere condolences are with the family at this incredibly difficult time. We ask that they are given the time and space to process this tragic news. The family is being supported by specially trained officers.
‘The boy who was also recovered from the water was taken to the hospital to receive medical care. He has since been discharged.
‘We are working together with all the relevant agencies including Humberside Fire and Rescue services and the Coastguard to fully understand the circumstances of the tragic accident.’
