The partner of a dad who died at a Rosyth B&B hours before a family wedding has told how she fought valiantly to save him in his final moments.
Greg Davies, 36, died on Saturday morning at the Queensferry Guest House in Fife. He had travelled to the town from Wales with partner Caitlin Turner, who is originally from the area, for her dad's wedding on Saturday afternoon.
Caitlin, 27, told the Record she fought to save Greg's life after she woke up to find he wasn't breathing. Mercy crews were called to the house in a bid to save the dad-of-one but tragically he was pronounced dead at the scene.
She said: "I was there for his last breaths trying to save him. I fought to save him. He was such a wonderful character and the life and soul of everywhere he went. You only ever saw him with a smile on his face."
She added: "He will be missed dearly and I love him very much."
Greg had been a regular at the Queensferry Guest House, which he used while staying in the area working as a roofer.
Claire Kelly, who runs the B&B, said: "Greg was a great guy. The roofing company he worked used the B&B for the majority of my guest house experience. They were all lovely guys who couldn't do enough for anyone.
"His partner Caitlin met Greg while he was staying here working and they had moved to Wales. They'd come back to stay for a family wedding.
"Everybody who knew him is gutted he was a one-of-a-kind guy. The sort of guy who was everyone's mate in the pub. Everyone at Queensferry Guest House did everything they could that day and will offer ongoing support to the family."
Tributes were paid to the 36-year-old, who had worked as a stonemason fitting granite kitchen worktops, by pals and colleagues. The death is being treated as unexplained by police, and it is understood that a post mortem will take place in a bid to figure out how Greg died.
Pal Tia Clarkson wrote: "Honestly I can’t get my head around it, the fact I’m never going to see that smile and hear that laugh again. You really are going to be missed more than you’ll ever know Greg, devastated to say the least."
A tribute from Deryn Hughes said: "RIP Greg, I can't believe this! I will look after Caitlin for you, you made her the happiest I’ve ever seen and I’m forever grateful for you showing her how to love her life again."
A GoFundMe was set up by friend Martin Jones to raise money for the unexpected cost of Greg's funeral and has raised almost £5,000.
A Police Scotland spokesperson said: "Around 8.45am on Saturday, 23 July, 2022, officers were called to a property on Queensferry Road, Rosyth.
“Emergency services attended and a man was pronounced dead at the scene. The death is currently being treated as unexplained and enquiries are ongoing to establish the full circumstances.”
