The deaths are not believed to be linked.

“Officers attended and the body of a man was subsequently discovered at the bottom of the cliffs by the coastguard.
“During the search the coastguard also discovered the bodies of a second man and a woman.
“Officers do not believe their deaths are linked to that of the first man."

"UK Coastguard sent Langdon Battery and Deal coastguard rescue teams, Dover RNLI lifeboat and the UK search and rescue helicopter based at Lydd."
