One man has died and another two are believed missing after a boat sank off the West Sussex coast.
A fourth man, a 45-year-old from London, was rescued at about 05:50 BST after the vessel went down two miles off the coast of Shoreham, the RNLI said.
A search is currently being carried out between Worthing Pier in the west and Brighton in the east.
The rescued man was found clinging to a buoy and saved by a passing fisherman.

Awfull tragedy reports also saying there boat sank after being in collision with another vessel,, pure speculation by me but sounds like there small boat was run over by a large ship,, with out the ship even realising it had been involved in a collision !!

Horrible reminder of my cousin and three friends drowning off the Sussex coast, in similar circumstances, just over 20 years ago.

Sussex Police said they believed the four men, all thought to be Romanian, left Brighton Marina at about midnight and the boat may have sunk "a couple of hours later, but the facts are not clear at this time".

Doesn't sound dodgy at all does it
