The tragedy comes just weeks after Muslim covert Calum - part of leading Glasgow crew Deadsoundz Inc - told pals he was winning his depression battle.

Jenn, who yesterday flew home from the United States to be with her family, said: “My brave brother disappeared into the River Clyde.

“We may never be able to rest until we can find his body but I hope that now his soul is home.

Paying tribute to their late crew member, Deadsoundz posted a poignant photo message on their Facebook page.
