New update on Gogglebox star George Gilbey's tragic death issued by police
George Gilbey died earlier this year following an accident at work. Police have released an update on their investigation into the death of Gogglebox star George Gilbey. The 40-year-old appeared on the Channel 4 show alongside his mum Linda McGarry and stepdad Pete McGarry, who died in 2021 at the age of 71. He tragically lost his life following a workplace accident in Shoebury, Essex, on March 27 last year. Despite the best efforts of emergency services, including air ambulance medics, he died at the scene. A spokesperson for Essex Police said at the time: "We received a report of an incident at Campfield Road in Shoebury at around 10am this morning (March 27), during which a man who was working at height had fallen and sustained an injury." An inquest into the roofer's death opened in April this year, and revealed he had plunged through a plastic skylight, and had sustained injuries "consistent with a fall from height", the Mirror reports. Two men were later arrested in connection with the incident on suspicion of manslaughter, but were released pending further investigation. The force has since confirmed the pair will not face any further action from the police. However, the criminal investigation is to continue. A spokesperson said: "The thoughts of everyone at Essex Police remain with George's family and friends. The criminal investigation remains open and will be led by the Health and Safety Executive." George's devastated mum Linda previously said that George had only returned to work three days earlier, and was attempting to "rebuild his life". Join the Daily Record WhatsApp community!

He had the best heart in the world. He was generous, funny and kind, with bundles of charm and buckets of personality. "He did more in his 40 years than people do in 90 – he's even had dinner with the Prince of Dubai. He was crazy, but after coming out of showbiz, he couldn't get his life back together. He just couldn't get over the death of Pete."

Dog walker dumps exhausted pet in home after walk in 27C heat before owner finds it dead
Dave McGhee - who runs Dave's Dugs - has been slammed for not seeking veterinary help for left English Bulldog Shelby. A dog walker dumped a granny's exhausted pet in her home after a walk in 27C heat leaving the owner to find it dead when she got home. Dave McGhee - who runs Dave's Dugs - left English Bulldog Shelby in her owner's Bellshill home after the walk. The dog 's owner, disabled gran Mandy Lawrie, 63, returned home to find two-year-old Shelby lying dead on the living room floor. The dog walker told Mandy's daughter he had taken Shelby on a 20 minute walk and the pet was returned to the house feeling no ill-effects. But a neighbour's doorbell camera captured McGhee carrying the dog lying in his arms up the garden path before it was left in Mandy's house. The clip confirmed Shelby was returned to the house almost an hour after she was picked up. Last night McGhee said he was sorry over Shelby's death. But Mandy has been left heartbroken. Her daughter Michelle said: 'It was really hot outside. He said he took the dogs on a short walk in the shade. 'He claimed Shelby walked in the gate and was happy when he dropped her off.' Michelle's suspicions arose and she asked her mum's next-door-neighbour for their doorbell camera footage. She said: 'We were shocked watching the footage. She looked lifeless. 'It was distressing seeing her in that condition. We couldn't believe it. 'My mum has MS and COPD. She's not fit to take the dogs out so that's why she relies on Dave.

Mandy, who suffers from MS and uses a mobility scooter, hired Dave's Dugs one year ago to walk her three pets after struggling with her mobility. McGhee had arrived at 10.30am on Tuesday to collect Shelby and Staffordshire Bull Terrier Raven and Mandy left behind a key for the dogs to be dropped off. Her daughter Michelle told the Record her mum has been left traumatised after finding Shelby. The 41-year-old said: 'Shelby was a bubbly wee dog. She usually runs to the front door when she hears us coming in but the house was quiet when we arrived. 'We walked in and she was lying dead on the living room floor. 'My mum is traumatised. 'I don't know how she will cope. 'She only lost her sister three weeks ago. The dogs are like her children. 'Her other dog Raven was just staring at Shelby's body wondering why she wouldn't move. It broke our hearts.' Michelle slammed McGhee for failing to seek veterinary treatment for Shelby. She said: 'He made no attempt to get her to a vet or even call us to say she was unwell. 'English Bulldogs struggle in the heat due because of their short muzzles - never mind being outside for an hour. 'It's disgusting. 'The way that this has happened is outrageous." Last night Dave told the Record: 'I am deeply sorry for the loss of Shelby. I have been walking dogs for over two years and have always prioritised their wellbeing. 'What began as a tragedy has unfortunately led to threats of violence. I will not be commenting further.' The tragedy occurred as a third heatwave struck Scotland this week. Temperatures are expected to soar to up to 30C across some areas of the country. Veterinary charity PDSA warned of the dangers of walking animals during extreme bouts of hot weather. PDSA Vet Emma Fisher said: 'Hot temperatures can lead to fatal consequences for our pets. 'Too much heat can be extremely dangerous for our canine companions, especially for flat-faced breeds and overweight dogs, who find it much more difficult to cool themselves down. Older dogs and those with ongoing health problems may also find it more difficult to manage their body temperature. 'Dogs don't sweat in the same way that we do, so to regulate their body temperature and cool themselves down, they pant instead. Panting is part of a dog's normal cooling process. 'Dogs love to run around, but that's also when heatstroke can sneak up on them, especially during hot weather. If you do head out for a dog walk, try to go early in the morning or later in the evening when the sun is lower and temperatures are cooler. During a heatwave, skipping a walk altogether may be the safest option.' The SSPCA confirmed an investigation was ongoing. A Police Scotland spokesperson said: 'Around 5.15pm on Tuesday, 12 August, 2025 we received a report of a dead dog at a property in Mossend, Bellshill. 'Appropriate advice was given to the reporter and there is no further police involvement.'

Family's anguish over missing dad who vanished near Loch Lomond more than two decades ago
David McCallum, from Clydebank, was last seen on March 30, 2003 during a visit to the Loch when he was just 31. The family of a dad who vanished more than 20 years ago near Loch Lomond have said they will always hold on to hope after images revealed how he might look today. David McCallum, from Clydebank, was last seen on March 30 2003 during a visit to the Loch when he was just 31. His car, a black Ford Focus, was found near where he was last seen in the Rowardennan area but despite an extensive police enquiry and numerous appeals, no trace of him was ever found. Age progression images created by Dundee University were released last month to show how David might look on what was his 54th birthday. And now, his sister Susan has shared her family's grief for another year without the dad-of-two. In an appeal through Missing People charity, she said: 'It's hard to believe it's been 22 years without your cheeky grin, your quick wit, and that spark only you had. 'Though life has carried on, the space you left is still felt deeply by us all. 'We hold onto the laughter, the love, and the hope - always. 'Miss you every day, our forever cheeky chappy.' Detectives say there have been just two potential sightings of David since he disappeared - one in Sussex in 2017 and another in the Tower Hill underground station in London in 2019. He is described as 5ft 9in with a slim build and dark brown hair. Detectives appealed for new information on David's whereabouts last month, with Det Insp David Lavery saying there have always been 'unanswered questions' around his disappearance. Police have appealed to hear from anyone who was wild camping in the Lochan Maoil Dhuinne area the weekend David was last seen, as well as people who have worked with the homeless community in London over the years.

David's brother and sister spoke of their anguish after their brother's case was featured in a BBC show in 2007, four years after he went missing, with Susan saying: 'It is just like he has vanished into thin air.' The Missing People charity said: 'David is deeply missed by his family. 'Throughout the 22 years that he has been missing, we have been there for them: from counselling support to help them weather the emotional toll of David's disappearance, to publicity support with the goal of keeping David's face in the public, maintaining hope that the siblings will be reunited someday. 'We will continue to be there until David is found.' Police Scotland works in close partnership with the Missing People Charity. They can be contacted via telephone on free phone 116 000 or by visiting the Missing People website.
