"Photographer and rugby player tumble through window to their deaths in slurry pit"

From The Daily Mail and The Daily Mail:

A photographer and a professional rugby player fell through an open third-floor window to their deaths at a glamorous party celebrating London Fashion Week.

Guests were horrified when Peter Alexander, 28, and Martin Spence, 22, both stumbled through the window, which was covered by a blind. They fell into a slurry pit on Martin's father's farm in Co. Down, Northern Ireland. Spence's sister Emma, who also tried to help, got into difficulty herself and was taken to be cleaned up...

The pair were said to be ‘messing around’ at Thursday night’s party, which was hosted by fashion PR company Blow to showcase designers and stylists. It was attended by drag queens in glitter and high heels, models and artists. The Northern Ireland Ambulance Service (NIAS) said it responded to a 999 call at about 12.15am following reports that up to three people had fallen into a slurry tank.
