A FOURTH body has been found by the bottom of a beauty spot cliff in just three days.
North Yorkshire Police’s coastal team said the woman’s body was found at Sandsend, near Whitby.
The force added that the woman was aged and in her 50s and from the local area.
She was spotted at 11.01am by a passerby who called emergency services.
The death is not being treated as suspicious and a report is being prepared for the coroner.
The victim’s family are being supported by specialist officers.
It comes after cops yesterday launched an investigation into the sudden death of a woman in her 60s at a popular seaside beauty spot on July 31.
While a day before, a man and a woman, both understood to be in their 40s, died after falling from the cliffs at Whitby.
Her body was found below cliffs at Whitby Abbey in North Yorks., yesterday – hours after a couple allegedly leapt to their deaths in the same area .
Her death comes after a man and a woman, both understood to be in their 40s, died after falling from the cliffs at Whitby on July 30, as well as another woman, aged in her 60s, who was found by the cliffs near the pavillion on July 31.
The latter two victims reportedly chatted to fellow walkers before allegedly leaping to their deaths hand-in-hand from the same cliffs.
Their bodies were recovered from the rocks below the drop on Wednesday evening following the apparent suicide pact.
Police are not linking this latest death to the alleged double suicide, which North Yorkshire Police continue to investigate.
Brian Vickers, 63, who was attending a nearby steam rally, said: “I saw the helicopter hovering and came down to see what was going on.
“I was told from somebody who has been walking along the path that he had come across them shortly before and they did not appear to be in distress.
“It was as if they were just going for a walk, there was nothing strange about it.
“About a dozen people witnessed it. They turned to face the sea and held hands and jumped.”
A member of the public alerted the police at 7.16pm on Wednesday after spotting a man and woman on the rocks below.
