I am now thinking along the lines of the sibling suicide.
The first death = Nienor, in the River Teiglin, beneath Cabed-en-Aras The second death = Turin, on the shore, on top of Cabed-en-Aras

Sorry, but no. Only Nienor threw herself from a cliff there. Your previous train of thought was closer....

It seems like you're hinting at geographic landforms, possibly even cliffs, but which? There are three 'over the edge' deaths in Gondolin - Eol, Maeglin, and Glorfindel - and the first two are over the same cliff. It could be the abyss by Cirith Thoronath talking to Amon Gwareth, if we're ignoring Eol as being too long ago.
Though of course, the riddle says they're not the same... hrm. Can we assume that the two in question are responsible only for two deaths, ever? hS |

You are close, but not quite there yet. Take a look at this map and then it'd all make sense

Okay... how about either Caragdur (where Eol was thrown off) or Amon Gwareth as a whole (for Maeglin's death) as 'you for the first', and the Tower of Turgon as the second, where Turgon died in a similar fall?
