British rugby player discovered dead in France on rocks

A rugby player from the British armed forces was discovered dead on a rocky part of the French coastline.

A man was found in Dinard, a seaside resort in northern Brittany. He had been reported missing and was discovered on Tuesday.

He died sadly when the UK was participating in the World Defence Rugby competition in France.

Investigators think that the man may have died because he fell by accident, according to local prosecutor Fabrice Tremel.

Two coaches from the team have said that they recognized his body.
We have learned that the man was in the Royal Navy.

Mr Tremel shared with a news outlet called Ouest France that at the same time the body was found, the English rugby military team reported to the police station in Saint-Malo about one of their players who went missing.

The coaches have recognized the body.

A closer examination of the player’s body will be done on Wednesday to find out exactly how they died.

The police found the player on the rocks at Port Nican, which is near the tip of Avenue de la Vicomte.

The British team is currently staying in Dinard and they have been practicing in the nearby town of Saint-Malo.

They will be playing against Fiji in the semi-final on Sunday at the Commandant Bougouin Stadium in Rennes, after winning against Spain with a score of 128-3, which is the best score in the team’s history.

The government department responsible for protecting the country has been asked for a response.

Earlier this year, a soldier from Britain died by drowning after accidentally falling into a river in Estonia. This happened while he was walking back to his home after spending time with his friends during the night.
