Paisley man's body found in Glencoe as family speak out on 'sudden death'

The family of a Renfrewshire man found dead at Glencoe has spoken out after police formally identified his body.

A body was discovered in water at Lochan Na Craoibhe on Wednesday, June 29. Officers on Friday confirmed that the deceased was Gordon Don from Paisley.

The 48-year-old's 'sudden death' is not being treated as suspicious. Gordon's loved ones released a short statement lamenting that he has 'gone too soon'.

It read: “Gordon has gone too soon. He will be sadly missed by his family and everyone who knew him.”

Detective Sergeant Joe Newson said: “Our thoughts are with Gordon’s family at this difficult time and they have asked for privacy. I would also like to thank the public who responded to our appeal to identify Gordon.

“His death is not being treated as suspicious and, as with all sudden deaths, a report has been sent to the Procurator Fiscal.”
