Ex-schoolmates in twin death tragedy

The body of 22-year-old Jonathan Law was discovered on Monday night by police officers who had been called in to investigate his disappearance on Saturday night.

News of his death came just 11 days after his former school-mate Nicola Anderson (22) was found dead at home by her father.

Jonathan, known to close friends as “Trigger,” was last seen leaving The Bridge Bar, on Rowms Lane, Swinton, at around midnight on Saturday.

Police, who had been searching the area around the Sheffield and South Yorkshire Navigation, called off their search after the discovery on Monday night.

On a Facebook site set up to pay tribute to Jonathan, his cousin, Joanne Law, wrote: “You were a great cousin and a really nice man. Gone but never forgotten. Love and miss you always xxx.”

The heartfelt Facebook tributes came just a week after Jonathan paid his own Facebook respects to Nicola, who had been in the same school year at Swinton Community School.

His message stated: “Jonathan Trigger Law is f****g heartbroken.

“Oh my God, I still can’t get my head around it.

“You are gonna be missed so much by so many Nic.

“You were amazing and I’m proud to have known and been friends with you.

“I’ll miss you and love you always pal :) xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx”

Nicola’s father found her collapsed at their family home on Prince Street, Swinton, on June 30.

An ambulance was called but she was pronounced dead shortly after the arrival of paramedics.

An inquest into the death of Nicola, a known epilepsy sufferer, was opened and adjourned last Tuesday.

Officers investigating the possible cause of Jonathan Law’s death this week handed the investigation over to the coroner’s office.

Postmortem examinations are now due to be carried out and an inquest is expected to be opened later this week.
