High fencing has been placed around the perimeter wall at the top of The Courtyard food court, adjacent to Source Park, following a fatal fall.

A Sussex Police spokesperson said, “Emergency services were called to White Rock in Hastings shortly before 1am on Wednesday, September 20th, to reports of a man having fallen from height. A 21-year-old man was sadly confirmed dead at the scene.” Hastings Borough Council, which installed the fence said, ‘We send our sympathies to the family and friends of those involved. There is currently an ongoing investigation so we can’t comment any further.” The venue, near the pier, is the site of the Old White Rock Baths. A sign on the fencing says, “The Courtyard businesses are open as usual.”
