Two teenagers have died after attending a DJ event in Glasgow at the weekend, as police investigate whether the fatal incidents are linked.

The 18-year-old men had both been at the SWG3 nightclub on Saturday where DJ Ben Hemsley was headlining.

The event – within the venue’s Galvanisers Yard – took place between 2pm and 10pm. An afterparty was then held indoors until 3am on Sunday.

One of the teenagers became unwell in the Constarry Road area of Croy, North Lanarkshire, at around 11.20pm on Saturday.

He was taken to University Hospital Monklands in Airdrie, where he was pronounced dead a short time later.

The second man collapsed at the music venue at around 2.20am on Sunday.

He was taken to the city’s Queen Elizabeth University Hospital, where he too was pronounced dead a short time later.
