Sussex police said the men were all found on Monday morning after being contacted about someone falling from the top of the Beauty spot
THREE more bodies have been recovered from the bottom of cliffs at Beachy Head bringing the total found at the bottom of the cliff this month to ten.
Seven bodies in total were found last week.
Sussex police said the three men were all found on Monday morning.
A spokesman said: “At 9.53am on Monday, police received a report of a person falling from Beachy Head, near Eastbourne.
“The coastguard was contacted and the body of a man, believed to be in his 40s, was recovered from the foot of the cliffs.
“Subsequently two further bodies were found in the same area - one at 12.10pm when a man's body was recovered from the sea at Holywell and another, also a man, shortly after 2pm at Beachy Head.
“The incidents are not believed to be linked.
“Enquiries into each death are continuing.
“There are no suspicious circumstances and the coroner for East Sussex has been informed.”
Last week, remains of two men in their 20s were recovered from the bottom of the cliffs . Their deaths, on Tuesday evening, are not thought to be linked.
One of the men may have been a suicide tourist who travelled to the UK to end their life at the world famous cliffs, it was claimed.
