Police are
investigating after
the body of a
man was
discovered in the sea
off Southsea seafront.
The body of
44-year-old Paul
Vigay was
discovered in the sea at Eastney on
Friday morning.
Police
said Mr Vigay, of
Manners
Road, Southsea, had
been reported missing at
11pm on
Thursday night.
The
body was
discovered by a
member of the public
who was out on the beach
walking their
dog.
Police were called at 8.10am
yesterday to the
seafront
next to the Royal Marines Museum, in
Eastney where the body was
found 10 metres from the shoreline.
Police
cordoned off the area.
Police
say Mr Vigay's death is not being
treated as
suspicious.
A
Hampshire
police spokeswoman said: 'We were called by a
member
of the public after they saw the
body
in the water. 'The
police, with
the help of
the
coastguard, brought him
in.' She
added:
'Investigations
are under way.'
The Portsmouth Coastguard Rescue Team and an inshore lifeboat were on the scene assisting the Police.
Local residents said they were shocked to hear about what happened in an area that is usually very quiet.
Another
resident
added: 'I have no
idea what has
happened. I heard a
police siren and I looked out the
window and
saw
the police cars: It
was a bit of a surprise - and
it's not a nice
surprise: I know the police interviewed a
couple of
dog
walkers.'
Undertakers
were
called to take the body away and a postmortem examination will be
carried out to try
to
establish the
circumstances which
led to Mr
Vigay's death.'
---------------------
Paul, along with other key circle researchers had recently sent important evidence of their remarkable encounter at Cheesefoot Head nearr Winchester, Hampshire to both government officials and the Queen, who is reported to have shown a keen interest in the matter.
There
were no
obvious reasons for Paul
to have taken a
swim out to sea in the
middle
of the night in February, yet strangely, the
police
are not treating the death
as foul play.
