Two-year-old twin boys have drowned after reportedly falling into a fish pond in Fife.
Emergency services were called to the scene in Dalgety Bay at around 8.20am on Saturday after the boys were found.
They were taken to Victoria Hospital in Kirkcaldy where they were pronounced dead, Police Scotland said.
Officers are supporting the family and working to establish the full circumstances of the incident.
A force spokesman said: "We received a call around 8.20am on Saturday following a report of concern for two children at an address in Dalgety Bay, Fife.
"Two male twins, aged two-years-old, had reportedly drowned in a fish pond and officers attended with the Scottish Ambulance Service.
"The children were taken to the Victoria Hospital in Kirkcaldy where they sadly died.
"Officers are supporting the family at this time. Inquiries to establish the full circumstances are ongoing."
Local MSP Alex Rowley said: "This is awful news and is every parent's worst nightmare.
"The loss of two young lives from the same family is just heartbreaking. My thoughts and prayers, and those of the whole community, are with the family."
