Glasgow scaffolder who died at 'notorious' hotel laid to rest in heartbreaking funeral

Hundreds of mourners turned out to see a popular young man who died of an overdose at a notorious Glasgow hotel laid to rest.

Frankie McVean passed away on May 14 while staying at the Queens Park Hotel as a stop-gap while his council tenancy was finalised.

The 30-year-old from Penilee was working as a scaffolder before his death and wasn't known to be a drug addict. He was one of five people to die of suspected overdoses in just two hotels in 19 days, reports the Daily Record.
