A pal of a tragic man found dead in a canal has launched a fundraiser to raise money for his funeral.
Scott Anderson, 51, was last seen on Friday, October 2 around 11.30pm near the bus stop in Chalmers Street, Clydebank.
His body was found in the canal in the town centre at around 5.20pm on Thursday.
His friend Tracy Kelly now want to raise £600 for Scott’s funeral.
She wrote: “So sad to be doing this but I want to try and raise some money to help Scott’s family with any costs and to help give Scott the send off he deserves.
"Scott was taken in a tragic accident way before his time.
“I’ve known Scott since we started Primary 1 and we were always good friends all through school and I am absolutely gutted at his passing.
"Would be greatly appreciated if you could contribute something, no matter how much.
“I am sure his family will take some comfort knowing how many people cared for Scott.”

At the time of the grim discovery, a Police Scotland spokeswoman said: “A post mortem examination will be carried out in due course to establish the exact cause of death.
“The death is not being treated as suspicious.”
