Police and the Coastguard were scrambled at around 2pm to reports a boy had plummeted from cliffs.

Sadly the teenager couldn't be saved and the coroner and cops are now working together to establish how he died.

A spokesman for Llandudno Coastguard said: “Arriving on scene it was clear our rope rescue skills would not be required, however, we needed to assist with casualty care.

“The team assisted the ambulance paramedic and [air ambulance crews] with casualty care but despite our best efforts we were unable to resuscitate him and he was pronounced deceased at the scene.
