THE body of a woman was pulled from the sea in Falmouth last evening.

Police officers attempted to resuscitate the middle aged lady but she was pronounced dead at the scene.

The body was found in the sea near rocks at Pendennis Point at about 8pm.

Police are conducting enquiries to find her next of kin to enable formal identification to take place.

They are not treating the death as suspicious.

A report is being prepared for the coroner.
