Two 'unidentified' women have tragically died after being pulled from the water at popular beaches in Cornwall.
The first woman, in her 50s, sadly passed away after being taken from the sea at Portreath beach, near the picturesque tourist haven of St Ives on Sunday.
Suspected to have suffered from a cardiac arrest, paramedics attended the scene at 12.35pm but were unfortunately unable to revive her.
Then, less than four hours later, another woman was discovered floating face down in the water having gone for a swim at Porthcothan beach near the small town of Padstow.
Devon and Cornwall Police have confirmed that neither woman has been formally identified.
