The family of a dad found dead outside his home days before Christmas said there is a 'huge void' in their lives in a moving tribute.
James 'Jim' Keegan, 48, was discovered outside of his flat on Buccleuch Street, Glasgow, shortly before 8.30am on December 20.
Emergency crews were called to the property but he was pronounced dead at the scene. His death is being treated as unexplained, Glasgow Live reports.
His devastated family have now paid tribute to the dad-of-four, who worked as a personal trainer.
Sister Nicola Blackstock, 40, said: "We’ve got no peace or settlement at all. For the rest of our lives, we have got to live with the fact that he was found outside his flat, trying to get in, just five days before Christmas.
"When police came to our door, I just collapsed and fell to the floor screaming at the top of my lungs. It’s been horrendous.
"One day he was here and the next day he was gone. We lost our mum and dad to cancer, he was always our rock and he didn’t realise how much strength he gave us - we needed him so much."
James, who was in high spirits when he last spoke to his family the night before he died, was due to go on a trip to Thailand this month.

The kindhearted dad loved to keep fit, going for walks and dancing, and was also passionate about travel.
Nicola added: "He was a shining light and the life and soul of the party. He was a pillar of strength for people and always there to help.
"He knew everybody and would talk to people. He’d stop and talk to homeless people and shake their hands.
"He never walked by a homeless guy without talking to them. He was so kind and generous, a couple of years
