Police are investigating the death of a man in East Renfrewshire.

The man's body was discovered at a property in Anderson Drive, Newton Mearns, on Friday afternoon.

The body was found just streets from where two other men were found dead last weekend. 

A spokeswoman for Police Scotland said the death is being treated as "unexplained" and a report will be submitted to the procurator fiscal.

She added: “At around 2.30pm on Friday, the body of an as yet unidentified man was found within a property in Newton Mearns.

“A post-mortem examination will take place to establish the exact cause of death.”

Earlier this month, two brothers were found dead in separate homes in Newton Mearns.

The body of John Mitchell, 29, was discovered in Castle Road at about 3.15pm on Sunday, August 5.

A short time later, the body of his 28-year-old brother Scott was found in a property in nearby Moorhill Crescent.

Police said one line of inquiry was that the deaths may be drugs-related.
