A 26-year-old man was rushed to hospital, but died a short time later.
The man in his 70s, is thought to have suffered a medical incident at around 5.40pm on Sunday 28 May.
A spokesman for Sussex Police said: "Emergency services responded to a report of a medical incident in the sea at Worthing beach, shortly before 6pm on Monday, May 29.
"A 26-year-old man was taken to hospital, where sadly he was later declared deceased.
