The body of a 21-year-old woman was found at a beach.

Blessing Olusegun, from Middle Park Avenue, was discovered in Bexhill on Friday.

Her death is being treated as unexplained though not suspicious.

A post mortem has taken place but the cause of death is yet to be established.

A fundraiser has been launched to raise funds for Blessing’s burial.

So far, £1,336 has been raised, with a target of £7,000.

Organiser Christiana Sofolabo said that Blessing was in Bexhill working on a one-week placement as a live-in caregiver for the elderly.

It is understood that she went for a walk along the beach and never returned to the care home.

Following an inconclusive post mortem, the friends and family of Blessing are seeking a full explanation of her death.

They are also calling for CCTV cameras to be installed at the beach and in other local areas so assist future investigations.

Christiana wrote: “We want to help raise awareness for CCTV cameras to be made available at the beach and in every local area, so investigations can be done properly.

“We are planning a march to Parliament. Let's make noise. We can't allow our beautiful black African women to die in vain.

“We would like to thank everyone in advance, for helping us fund this campaign. As you can tell Blessing means so much to us, her friends and family who love Blessing.

“Her name is Blessing for a reason. She shined so much light into all our lives, she was the most kind, loyal, beautiful, amazing, god-fearing, enigmatic young woman we ever had a pleasure to be around.

“She cared for us a lot. We love you Blessing Ayomide Adetutu Olusegun. We love you so much. Our angel. Rest in perfect angelic peace”
