A man and a woman have died at T in the Park music festival. 

Police confirmed a 17-year-old male from the west of Scotland and a 17-year-old female from the north of England died at T-in-the-Park.

Investigations are ongoing but the deaths are not thought to be linked and at this stage are not believed to be suspicious.

The teenagers' next of kin have been informed and reports will be submitted to the Procurator Fiscal.

Chief Superintendent Angela McLaren said: "Our thoughts and condolences are with the families of the two young people involved.

"We are continuing to investigate these deaths and are following lines of enquiry, including the possibility that they may be drug related.

"I would remind all persons attending the festival that there is no safe way of taking drugs.

"Anyone who has any concerns for themselves or others at the festival should contact festival staff, police officers or medics for assistance."

The festival doors to the campsite opened yesterday ahead of the opening of the music arena today. 

More than 80,000 people are expected to attend the three-day event.

Last year a 36-year-old man was found dead in the toilets at the Strathallan Castle site in Auchterarder.

Festival director Geoff Ellis said: "We are shocked and saddened by today's news and our thoughts are with the families and friends at this time. 

"We are offering our full support and assistance."

Liz Smith, Scottish Conservative MSP for Mid Scotland and Fife, said: "This is tragic news and I am sure I echo the sentiments of everyone when we send condolences to the families involved and, indeed, to the organisers of T in the Park who have worked hard this year to overcome last year's concerns about public safety.

"Clearly, an investigation now has to take place and I hope this will be undertaken as quickly as possible. It is essential that police establish exactly what happened and why."

T in the Park organisers released a statement warning revellers not to take drugs.

On the official Twitter page for the festival, the statement warned those attending to avoid drugs and not to "risk it".

It said: "Don't risk it - you don't know what's in drugs, where they came from, or how you'll react to them, steer clear. 

"Be vigilant - drugs are illegal and dangerous. If you spot anything suspicious report it to stewards or a police officer. 

"Don't delay - if you or your friends feel unwell, seek help immediately from any festival staff." 

Police Scotland have so far said the two deaths are being treated as "unexplained". 

But a police source said the deaths were "possibly" linked to drugs. He added: "We can't rule anything out or anything in."
