Forensic Teams Seal Off Chancellor Street in Partick
Forensic officers moved quickly to the scene after the alarm was raised. Parts of Chancellor Street were taped off, with the area near the Byres Road junction affected, Seaside Radio reported. Investigators worked to preserve the scene and gather evidence.
Police Scotland assigned the case incident number 1386. Officers remained at the location as the investigation continued into the evening. The taped-off area caused disruption to the surrounding streets in the Partick neighbourhood.
Detective Chief Inspector Speaks as Families Are Told
Detective Chief Inspector Jen McCulloch led the public response to the deaths. She said: "Our thoughts remain with the families of the two men who have died, and they are being supported at this difficult time." Support has been offered to those affected, according to Radio Royal.
McCulloch added that officers are "working hard to establish the full circumstances of what has happened." She confirmed that police will stay in the area as the inquiry moves forward. Both families were informed before the public announcement was made.
Deaths Treated as Unexplained Pending Post-Mortem Results
Police have not described the deaths as suspicious but are not ruling anything out. The term "unexplained" means the cause of death has not yet been confirmed. Post-mortem examinations will be carried out to give a clearer picture, Herald Scotland reported.
Both men were found with serious injuries inside the flat. Detectives have not yet said what kind of injuries these were. Results from the post-mortem examinations are expected to guide the direction of the investigation.
Police Urge Public to Come Forward With Information
Detectives are appealing for anyone with information to get in touch. Police Scotland can be contacted on 101, with callers asked to quote incident number 1386. Even small details could be important to the inquiry, officers say, according to Seaside Radio.
DCI McCulloch said officers would remain visible in the Partick area to reassure the local community. The investigation is at an early stage. Authorities say extensive enquiries are already under way to piece together the full circumstances of the two men's deaths.
