The body was discovered in Folkestone shortly after 2200 BST on Thursday.
A police spokeswoman said it was believed to be that of a girl who was last seen in the water near the Rotunda amusement park earlier that day.
And a sad update from Inury Watch1.
This is my site The Folkestone Gerald that I built in a fury of excitement when we first came to Folkestone sometime in 2004. I had been a frequent visitor for a while previous to that so I am technically one of those DFLs you get now. This site was updated more frequently with a calendar of events + voting for favourite venues and things, + I know it was a useful resource for those who were thinking of moving to the area. Now I've moved out of Folkestone again (though only to Hythe) it doesn't get as much attention as it used to. Ironic really as The town is now becoming the exciting place we knew it was just about to. I am not Gerald by the way, this comes from a pretend newspaper in an episode of The Day Today or something, the Portsmouth Gerald, and how there is a local newspaper here called the Folkestone Herald. Puns like this are great aren't they? Do get in touch if you have something to offer, email anythign @ this domain, or try @folkestone or @pauly on the twitter.
