A six-year-old girl from Erith has died after getting into difficulty in Margate Harbour.
Emergency services were called to the seaside town on Saturday (July 28) just before 3.15pm over concerns for a child in the water.
The young girl was taken to Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother Hospital and was in a serious condition.
However, Kent Police have now confirmed the girl has died.
A statement read: "Her next of kin have been informed.
"There are no suspicious circumstances and a report is being prepared for the coroner."
