## Caption

The dad who was one of three family members that died off the coast of Sussex on Tuesday has been named. 
 
The father, Hossam Al-Khawas, was a Palestinian refugee, the Palestinian embassy told the BBC. 
 
A young girl, also from the same family, remains in a critical condition in hospital.
 
Sussex Police believe all four entered the water off Shoreham for a swim, though details about the exact circumstances of the incident are not yet known.
