Who investigates sea deaths?
When a death occurs in coastal waters, multiple agencies often get involved. The police investigate potential criminal aspects, while the Marine Accident Investigation Branch (MAIB) looks into broader safety lessons from maritime incidents. The Coastguard and RNLI are usually the first responders, coordinating rescue efforts. This multi-agency approach aims to understand what happened and prevent similar tragedies.
