Declan Shanley drowned after going to the aid of a friend

A 13-year-old boy has drowned after jumping into a river to save a friend.

Declan Shanley, from Summerston in Glasgow, was swept away by a strong current in the River Kelvin, near the West of Scotland Science Park.

He had gone to the aid of a friend who had strayed into deep water in an area known locally as the beach.

The girl was able to get back to shore. However, Declan, described by his head teacher as a "popular boy",  was pronounced dead in hospital.

The friends had been playing in shallow water at about 1830 BST on Saturday when the girl got into trouble.

Declan, a pupil at the John Paul Academy in Glasgow, and another boy, jumped in to help her but Declan was swept away.

'Brave wee boy'

An extensive search and rescue operation, involving police, Strathclyde Fire and Rescue and a helicopter, later found Declan in the water about 2030 BST.

He was taken by ambulance to the city's Western Infirmary but pronounced dead on arrival.

A message posted on the internet tribute site Gone Too Soon, described Declan as a "much-loved" family member.

It added: "He will be sadly missed but in our hearts forever. Declan we all love and miss u so much."
