A pair of teenagers plunged to their deaths from a sixth-floor balcony while trying to have sex, a witness has claimed.
The 18-year-old man and 19-year-old woman were both pronounced dead at the scene near a
block of luxury apartments overlooking the River Thames this morning.
Police are
investigating but have said they believe it to be a “tragic accident”.
Samson Oguntayo, 32, a self-employed events manager who lives in the neighbouring Cornmill
House, said he and his partner Blessing had seen the couple fall.
“They were trying to have sex on the balcony, the guy was lifting the girl and
putting her on the bannister, he kept on doing it,” he said.
