Robert Andrew Deacon, 42, from The Riviera in Sandgate, was spotted by the crew
of a fishing boat two miles south of Rye on Saturday (8 September) at 6.30am.
When his body was recovered he had injuries to the back of his head and it was
believed he may have been hit by a passing vessel.
He was found wearing a drysuit and the spraydeck around his waist, used to form
a waterproof seal with his canoe.
A canoeist had been reported missing from Folkestone in Kent on Tuesday and a
damaged canoe was discovered on Wednesday in the Hythe area.
