Two fishermen found dead on Whitby harbour boat
Police say two bodies have been found on a boat in Whitby
Two fishermen have been found dead on a boat in Whitby harbour.
Concerns were raised about the pair and the men's bodies were discovered in a vessel moored off Pier Road at 09:55 GMT on Wednesday.
A spokesman for North Yorkshire Police said their deaths were "unexplained but not suspicious".
The Health and Safety Executive and the Marine Accident Investigation Branch had been informed of the men's deaths, he added.
The two have yet to be formally identified, police said.
Other reports say the two fishermen had used their gas stove to keep warm.
Every year someone dies in a boat, camper or caravan after using the stove as a heater in a small unventilated space.:Sad:
The stove will not only give off carbon monoxide but will also use up all the oxygen.
