A Colchester man found dead on a beach in Suffolk has been named by police.
He was 42-year-old Paul Kilgallen, who worked for Colchester Council as a training and policy officer.
His head of department paid tribute, saying he was a "dear friend and colleague", adding that council workers were devastated by his death.
Mr Kilgallen was found dead on a beach in Felixstowe on Thursday morning. Suffolk Police said they did not believe there were any suspicious circumstances surrounding his death.
An inquest will be held in due course.
