Heartfelt tributes to young Edinburgh dad as tragic death leaves pals 'crushed'

Friends of Jamie Stenhouse have come together to raise funds for his funeral to help his family out.

On Monday night, police reported that they had found the body of the 34-year-old in a wooded area near to Ellen's Glen Loan after he went missing from the Gilmerton area on Saturday night. Tributes poured in from family and friends across social media and a memorial has been organised for Friday, December 16 to honour him.

Speaking to Edinburgh Live, Jacqui O'Donnell, 35, explained she and her friends set up a GoFundMe to make sure he gets the send off he deserves. It was set up on Wednesday and by Thursday lunchtime, they had met their £3,000 target, as the community came together to give their condolences and share how much Jamie meant to them.
