Tragedy in Portland Harbour this afternoon

A major incident has occurred in Portland Harbour this afternoon (Tuesday). Both Weymouth lifeboats, sea-going and inshore, were in attendance, as was the Search and Rescue helicopter, but tragically a kite surfer has very sadly died.

First aid was administered by the rescuers but the kite surfer in his 70s was pronounced dead at the scene.
