Two women who jumped to their deaths from a Glasgow bridge reportedly held hands as they fell.
The pair plunged more than 100ft from the Erskine Bridge shortly before 9pm last night.
Scotland's Daily Record newspaper is reporting that the pair were teenage girls who were seen holding hands as they leapt.
They were pulled from the River Clyde near the bridge after a search involving police, fire and rescue services, a Coastguard helicopter and the Ministry of Defence.
The Erskine Bridge connects Renfrewshire and West Dunbartonshire and is a notorious suicide spot.
A Coastguard source told the Record: "The information that we have is that it was two teenagers and that they held hands as they jumped from the bridge.
"They were clearly in the water for a long time and it is very rarely that anyone lives after a fall like that."

The story said that the women were young (teenagers), I wondered why no one found out they were so unhappy ..sad enough to want to kill themselves. It is very important to equip young people with skills they need to cope. These two obviously do not think there are other ways of dealing with their problem other than suicide. If only they told someone.
