A woman in her 30s has died at a popular coastal beauty spot during the hottest day of the year.
Coastguards, lifeboat crews, air ambulance and police rushed to the iconic Durdle Door beach in Dorset at around 1pm after receiving reports of a woman in need of urgent medical attention.
Emergency responders carried out CPR on the victim but she was pronounced dead at the scene.
It is not known if the woman had been in the water prior to her dying or had suffered a medical episode on the beach.
The woman's family have been made aware of her death, which is not being treated as suspicious, Dorset Police said.
