A teenager who died on a railway line at the weekend was a cousin of murdered schoolgirl Paige Doherty, it has emerged.

Aaron Keenan, 19, died after he was found near Kilpatrick station in West Dunbartonshire on Sunday morning.

British Transport Police are treating his death as "unexplained" and have appealed for anyone with information to come forward.

Paige, 15, was killed in March last year, with John Leathem sentenced to life for her murder in October.

On the "Pout for Paige" Facebook group, set up after the schoolgirl's death, mutual friend Shannon McGarvey posted "now you're reunited with your cousin Aaron".

Mr Keenan's amateur football club, Duntocher Hibs, also paid tribute to the teenager.

The club, which is coached by his father Paul, said: "Our very dear friend Aaron Keenan, The Waterbhoy, has been involved in the most tragic accident resulting in Aaron now sleeping with the angels tonight.

"Our thoughts and prayers are now with our coach, Paul and Gillian and all the Keenan family in their time of grief and can not begin to convey our most heart felt sorrow on this tragedy bestowed upon you."

In March 2016, John Leathem killed Paige in a "savage and frenzied" attack at his sandwich shop in Clydebank before dumping her in bushes nearby.

Leathem was ordered to serve a minimum of 27 years for her murder.

Mr Keenan, from Clydebank, is understood to have left a property near the railway station around 3am.

Police were called to Kilpatrick station in West Dunbartonshire shortly before 8am on Sunday after a body had been discovered on the line to Bowling. He was later pronounced dead in hospital.

Detective inspector Arlene Wilson said earlier: "Understandably, this has been terrible shock for this man's family and friends and we have specially trained officers supporting them at this difficult time.

"Our inquiries are in the early stages and we will continue to keep an open mind until we have established all of the facts."

Anyone with information has been asked to call 0800 40 50 40 quoting reference 139 of June 25, 2017 or text British Transport Police on 61016.
