A man, a woman and a child have died after falling from a high-rise block of flats in south London.
Scotland Yard said officers were called at 7.29am to reports that people had fallen from a height in Churchyard Row, Elephant and Castle.
The three people died at the scene despite attempts to resuscitate and the deaths are currently being treated as “unexpected”, the force said.
A spokesman for the Met Police said: "Work is under way to formally identify those who died. Their next-of-kin have been informed and are being supported by specialist officers.
"Detectives are urging any witnesses or anyone with information to come forward by calling 101, quoting CAD 1613/27MAY."
A London Ambulance Service spokesman said: “We were called at 7.31am on Wednesday May 27 to reports of an incident on Churchyard Row, SE11.
"We sent a number of resources to the scene including ambulance crews, a paramedic in a fast response car, an incident response officer and paramedics from our hazardous area response team (HART). We also dispatched a trauma team in a car from London’s Air Ambulance."
They continued: "Our first paramedic arrived in around four minutes. Very sadly, despite the best efforts of our crews, three people were pronounced dead at the scene."
