The heartbroken mum of a young boy who died at a building site in Drumchapel has paid a poignant tribute to her lost son online.
Shea Ryan, 10, passed away last night after falling down a hole believed to be a drain, on the site at Glenkirk Drive.
The before the alarm was raised at around 10pm and he was rushed to hospital but sadly lost his life a short time later.
Devastated relatives and friends said 'hearts would be breaking' as tributes were paid to the 'kind and caring' boy.
Mum Joanna Douglas, also took to Facebook to express her heartache and said: "Sleep tight Shea. Forever in our hearts son."
Emergency services cordoned the road off last night as they worked to rescue the boy at the site where large-scale drainage work is under way.
Devastated neighbours watched on as he was pulled from the hole as it emerged locals had previously reported that they had noticed local children were sneaking off to play on the site during lockdown.
It is understood he was with a group of friends playing at the site when tragedy struck.
Work has been ongoing in the area near Kinfauns Drive as part of a £5million drainage project to help combat flooding with engineers also planning to realign Gardscadden Burn.
The site is being managed by Scottish Water.
One local who lives in the area said: “Kids have been down most nights jumping about the diggers, despite the fact a security guard patrols the site.
“Parents would come out and shout for their kids to come in at night from the site.
“It’s been reported to police and Scottish Water several times over the last few weeks so there have been concerns for safety.
“It’s been a tragic accident waiting to happen.”
Joanna's tribute was among a flood of messages to appear on social media, with young Shea described as 'beautiful, kind and caring'.
One relative said: "Cant believe it, absolutely devastated, never in my life did I think that my beautiful, kind caring wee cousin would be sent to heaven at this time of year and age.
"I'll love you forever wee guy, forever 10.
"ONLY ONE SHEA RYAN, you were the wee brother I never had."
While another person wrote: "Absolutely heartbreaking news, RIP Shea.
"You will be sadly missed far too young to be gone."
A third added: "So sad thoughts are with the family and friends at this sad time fly high we guy."
A Police Scotland spokesperson said: "Police enquiries are continuing to establish the exact circumstances surrounding this incident, however the death is not being treated as suspicious.
"Health and Safety Executive have been informed."
