A source who lived nearby to the victim said he had been staying at the property for the last few years to care for his elderly mum.

Another neighbour said he was shocked to see a heavy police presence. He added: "I got back and seen the cops everywhere. It was mental. We had no idea what was happening."

Police say their enquiries into the death remain ongoing. A spokesperson for the force said: "Around 5.05pm on Sunday, June 25, officers were called to a report of a man seriously injured within a flat in Glenisla Street, Tollcross, Glasgow. Emergency services attended and the 50-year-old man was pronounced dead at the scene.
