The body of a man has been found in a wooded area in the East End, as police lock down a road and forensics scour the scene.
Residents on Springboig Avenue say a large police presence has been at the end of their road since yesterday evening.
On Tuesday, July 14, several forensic officers were seen scouring the area as a large cordon was erected around a local football field, Danny's Park.
Police have now confirmed a man's body was discovered at around 5pm yesterday (Monday, July 13).
The death is being treated as unexplained, with an investigation underway.
No further details about the age or identity of the man have been released by police thus far.
We reported this morning, how neighbours on the street said they "didn't know what was happening" but that it "didn't look good."
Initially only two police vans and a number of officers were seen at about 10am on Tuesday, however as the morning went on more officers arrived.
This included forensics teams who donned their white overalls and face coverings as they entered the wooded area off of Springboig Avenue.
In addition, other officers on the scene were chapping on doors on the street to speak with residents.
One resident told the Glasgow Times: "I came home yesterday and the police were all just there.
"We're having to move cars as the cordons extending."
A local garage owner also said that they were aware of the police presence since 5pm the previous day, but that it had "got a lot busier" on Tuesday morning.
Police Scotland said they are continuing to examine and investigate the circumstances of the death.
A spokesperson for the force said: “Police discovered the body of a man in the Springboig Avenue area of Glasgow around 5pm on Monday, July 13, 2026.
“The death is being treated as unexplained and enquiries are ongoing.
“A report will be submitted to the Procurator Fiscal.”
