A woman has suffered a second heartbreak after her fiancé was found dead six years after her first husband died.
Laura McRonald was devastated when her partner Jamie Lynch lost his life after plunging from the Clackmannanshire Bridge over the Firth of Forth in Scotland.
Six years ago her previous partner Andrew Gallacher died suddenly just weeks after they welcomed their first child, The Daily Record reported .
He lost his life shortly after going missing from his home in Kilwinning, Ayrshire, leaving behind their four-month-old daughter.
A source said: “Jamie and Laura were due to get married this year.
"They got engaged in September last year and had a party. It’s a terrible tragedy for her as she lost her first partner in 2014 and after all the heartache she suffered it seemed she had found happiness again with Jamie.
"This is absolutely devastating for her and her little girl to lose another loved one in tragic circumstances.”
Jamie, a police officer, was pulled from the water on Sunday night, but could not be saved.
Police chiefs said the force had been left “deeply saddened” by the loss of the 28-year-old.
Police, fire crews, a coastguard helicopter and search teams were drafted in as a full-scale search got under way, but nothing could be done to save Jamie.
A police spokesman said: “The body of a 28-year-old man was recovered from the River Forth a short time later following a search.
“The death is currently being treated as unexplained, although there are no apparent suspicious circumstances.
“A report will be submitted to the procurator fiscal.”
In memory of the young police officer friend and colleague changed their social media profile pictures to images of a blue candle on Monday,
There are not believed to be any suspicious circumstances surrounding Jamie’s tragic death.
The first tragedy to befall Laura occurred just days after she and Andrew had received keys to their own home.
A missing person appeal was issued by the apprentice plumber's family, but he was discovered dead days later.
Jamie’s death comes after four other Police Scotland colleagues died suddenly in the space of just three months.
PC Natalie Faulds, 25, was taken to hospital in Wishaw, Lanarkshire, earlier this month, where she later passed away.
In December, detective constable Gordon Gibson, 42, took his own life at Greenock Police Station
In October last year, tragic Martin Mooney, who was based in Stirling, was struck by a train.
Another experienced officer who had been based in the west of Scotland also died suddenly in December last year.
None of the deaths are believed to be suspicious.
