REVEALED: Two Hillsborough survivors committed suicide after their trauma was 'retriggered' by footage of Liverpool fans 'pressed against each other in a tunnel' at the Champions League final in Paris, survivors group claims

Two Liverpool fans who survived the Hillsborough disaster have committed suicide after being 'retriggered' by the scenes that marred the Champions League final in Paris.

Peter Scarfe from the Hillsborough Survivors Support said at an event on Monday the two supporters had taken their own lives since the game at the Stade de France in May.

Sportsmail understands neither fan, one of who was 52 and the other 63, were in attendance at the final against Real Madrid.

A total of 97 Liverpool fans were killed as a result of the deadly crush at Hillsborough, and the chaos that occurred prior to the Paris final evoked painful memories for Reds fans.
