Frankie McVean, 30, was working as a scaffolder and using the hotel as a stop-gap while awaiting a council tenancy before his death.
The heartbroken mum of a man who died of an accidental drug overdose at a "hellhole" Glasgow hotel has demanded an inquiry.
“If he wasn’t put into that horrific hellhole he would be alive today and I believe the place should be shut down. I have been told by several people who have lived there recently that drug dealing is openly taking place, despite the fact people are dying. The family of tragic Charlene Biggley, 41, told the Record how she had moved from her Kilmarnock home to get away from drugs – but ended up dying of an overdose. And a 52-year-old man who also died at the hotel on May 14 begged a Glasgow City Council homelessness team worker to find an alternative to the Rennie Mackintosh, due to its connection with overdose deaths.
She said: “Frankie was told that if he had friends in his room he would be chucked out, that if he stayed out after midnight he would be chucked out. He was actually thrown out recently after he spent the night at the home of his Aunt Louise, who he was really close to. Their reasoning was that if he never slept at the hotel then he couldn’t be treated as homeless.
Frankie’s brother Jonathan, 35, said all homeless hotels should be manned with a social worker or drugs worker at all times, specifically to prevent overdose deaths. He said: “How many lives will be lost before Glasgow City Council sees that what is happening is a disgrace? If you are housing people in hotels where multiple people are dying, month after month, there has to be a duty of care for them.
