A woman from London has died after becoming trapped under a boat in a river in Norfolk.
Police are trying to work out what happened in the incident in the River Bure, Great Yarmouth, on Wednesday afternoon.
Officers, fire and rescue workers, coastguard staff and an ambulance crew attended the scene shortly after 1.30pm but were not able to save the woman, who was in her 30s.
Norfolk Police said in a statement: “A woman has sadly died following a boat incident in Great Yarmouth.
“Officers were called just before 1.35pm on Wednesday August 19 to reports a woman had become trapped under a boat on the River Bure at North Quay.
“Officers attended the scene, along with Norfolk Fire and Rescue Service, the Coastguard and the East of England Ambulance Service, however, the woman, aged in her 30s and from the London area, was sadly pronounced dead at the scene.
