Schoolboy, 13, drowns trying to save friend from river


Declan Shanley, 13, was carried away by the fast-flowing current after he and a friend jumped in to help the girl who had fallen into deep water.
While the other boy managed to reach out to her and drag her back to shore, Declan was caught by fast-flowing water and swept away.
He and his friends had been paddling in the River Kelvin in Glasgow on Saturday on one of the city's hottest days of the year.
His distraught friends called for help and police arrived at the Maryhill area with divers and a helicopter.
Nearly two hours later Declan was found in the water but he died on the way to hospital.

Proud Scotland and every single person in the country would like to offer our condolences to Declan's friends and family, he is a true hero in all our eyes.

A Tribute to Scotlands Fallen Heroes.
