The mother of a man who died in a “hellhole” hotel is demanding an inquiry into an appalling explosion in overdose deaths.
Heartbroken Linda McVean spoke out after her son Frankie – who was not a drug addict – died of an accidental overdose at the notorious Queens Park Hotel in Glasgow on May 14. The tragic 30-year-old was working as a scaffolder and using the hotel as a stop-gap while awaiting a council tenancy, which he had been granted shortly before his death.
Linda, 54, claims he fell prey to rife drug dealing at the premises – where three people died of suspected overdoses in the past month. Linda said: “I am devastated at the death of my beautiful son and I will not allow Frankie to become just another drugs statistic. He was a popular, well loved young man, with so many friends and a loving family and a whole life in front of him.
