Two men have died after collapsing in a south London sauna.

A third man was taken to hospital and later released after the incident at the Pleasuredrome sauna in Cornwall Road, near Waterloo Station.

A 39-year-old was pronounced dead at the scene, a 46-year-old died in hospital on Monday and a 34-year-old was discharged on Monday.

A post-mortem examination on the 39-year-old took place on Monday at Greenwich mortuary, but failed to establish a cause of death.

Lambeth Police said it was waiting for further toxicology tests.

A post-mortem examination on the 46-year-old will take place on Thursday at Greenwich mortuary.

Both deaths are being treated as unexplained.

Police are appealing for a man seen entering the venue with the 39-year-old to come forward as soon as possible.

He is described as a slim, white man, aged 25 to 35, with brown hair and a goatee beard and approximately 6ft tall.
