A young father and his six-year-old daughter, who were found dead in a double tragedy, have been named and pictured for the first time.

The bodies of Mark Gordon, 36, and his six-year-old daughter were discovered inside a family home in West Calder, Scotland, on Monday. Officers rushed to the property in West Lothian following a “report of concern for a person inside.”

At present, their deaths are being treated as “unexplained” and investigations are ongoing. Chief Inspector Elaine McArthur-Kerr described the incident as “very upsetting and worrying” for people living in the area. She stated that anyone with concerns could speak to the police.

Speaking to The Sun, a local resident said: “To think that something horrible has happened here is just so sad.” Another added: “It’s unspeakable. I would sometimes see the wee girl outside in the garden. She was such a lovely wee thing. We’re tight-knit here but no one really knew them.”
