Former UDA chief, Sam ‘Skelly’ McCrory has died following an incident in Scotland.
The 57-year-old best pal to Johnny ‘Mad Dog’ Adair, had been living in Ayr in recent years and pals say he suffered a catastrophic head injury during an accidental fall on concrete steps at the weekend.
Tributes from loyalist circles flooded social media on Sunday evening with rumours that he had been the victim of violence, vehemently denied by those closest to him and his family.
