Up to 170 migrants in 12 boats have crossed the English Channel after days of choppy sea conditions improved. A further 222 people were stopped from making the “perilous” journey by French authorities, the Home Office said. The authorities later confirmed the body of a man in a lifejacket, found on a beach near Calais at 08:00 BST, was that of a migrant. Six migrants on two kayaks tied together were also rescued by the French navy off the coast of Calais. The man, who was found dead on the beach at Sangatte, had almost certainly been trying to cross the Channel, said Pascal Marconville, the prosecutor of nearby town Boulogne-sur-Mer. The number of people reaching the UK by boat had fallen in October amid harsher conditions in the Channel. Mr Marconville said initial examinations of the man’s body indicated there was no third party involvement in his death.
