Meanwhile, the body of a 15-year-old boy was pulled from a river in Glasgow earlier this month.
Emergency services launched a major search and rescue operation following reports of a boy in the River Kelvin in northern Glasgow, Scotland.
At roughly 6.40pm, police and fire service crews began their search – but by 11.30pm, officers had found and recovered the body of a 15-year-old boy from the water.
Police said enquiries are ongoing and that the boy’s death is not being treated as suspicious.

At the start of July, a British mum drowned in Corfu in front of her husband and 16-year-old son.
The mother, 50, and father had been swimming off Roda beach in northern Corfu on Wednesday when bad weather left the couple battling the waves as they tried to reach the shore.
Some local outlets are reporting the strong currents and bad weather made them lose control, while others say they’d been swept out towards a rocky area.
The fire service was contacted but despite their best efforts, they couldn’t save the mother and she was pulled “unconscious from [the] water”, reports the Corfu Press.
