Man devastated by suicides of three pals in bid to overhaul mental health services in Scotland

Danny Thain, 27, lost three people close to him in the space of just nine years after they each took their own lives under the age of 25. At 18-years-old, the now dad-of-one carried his best friend's coffin to his funeral.

One year later, he lost a second friend under the same circumstances. The harrowing events left Danny, from Fraserburgh, Aberdeenshire, crippled as he struggled with unanswered questions around the deaths.
