Demolition is under way at a Cornwall hotel after a fire in which a man died and five people were injured.

Police now say they are searching for four people missing after the blaze at the Penhallow Hotel in Newquay.

Fire crews need to make the building safe after parts of it gave way. Police said they thought the man who died had fallen from a second-floor window.

Officers said a burglary took place the evening before the fire, but they were not currently linking the two events.

They are keen to talk to any potential witnesses of the burglary which happened shortly after 1900 BST on Friday.

The top two storeys of the four-storey hotel and its facade will be demolished before an investigation takes place.

More than 80 people managed to get out of the building safely during the blaze in the early hours of Saturday.
