Tributes have been flooding in for a top Glasgow dentist to the stars who has been found dead aged just 39.
The body of Jamie Newlands, former director of the award-winning Berkeley Clinic cosmetic dentist in Glasgow’s Newton Terrace, was discovered in a field in Eaglesham on Friday.
The cause of his death is not yet known.
Police have confirmed that the body of a male was found the area at the time.
A spokeswoman for Police Scotland said: “At around 8.45pm on Friday, July 28, police officers found the body of a 39-year-old man in Greenfield Hill, Moor Road.
“There appear to be no suspicious circumstances surrounding his death, and a report has been sent to the Procurator Fiscal.”
Mr Newlands reportedly worked on stars including Paolo Nutini, actor Robert Carlyle, and Texas singer Sharleen Spiteri, as well as top footballers and former Miss Scotland contenders.
Tributes have been flooding in for the young man online throughout the weekend and into today.
Former Radio Clyde presenter Susie McGuire posted simply: “God Bless you sweetheart.”
Another one of his friends, Paul Smith, said: “Such a talented man taken too soon. Rest in Peace Jamie. Very sad news.”
Writing from Doha in Qatar, Jonathan Herbert said: “Just yesterday I was telling a group of friends about you and our many Djing adventures, how you managed to teach me how to dj in one week and had me playing Friday nights at the cube.
“Finding out this morning that you are no longer with us mate. No words to express how shocked and saddened. Rest in peace. My thoughts are with your ladies and your family.”
Hew Morrison added: “Jamie, you were one in a million. Kind, generous, super intelligent and above all else a proper gent. I always looked up to you, ever since we were in primary school together. So sad, my thoughts are with your family.
Rest in peace mate.”
This morning, pal Chris Green said: “Everyone that know you spoke so highly of you. The happiest I’d seen you was the day you announced you where going to be a dad [sic].”
