Thirteen-year-old William was swimming with friends at a section of the river known as the Clay Pitts, near Auchans Farm, on June 2, 2021, when he got into difficulties.The Linwood High School pupil was pulled from the water and rushed to Glasgow’s Royal Hospital for Children in critical condition but died three days later.
“My message is do not swim in bodies of open water because in one second any family could be changed forever.”William’s death has led to GPS signs being placed at potentially dangerous sites along the river, as well as life belts and throw ropes. William’s mum Sharron Drennan said: “The bits have been replaced now but my whole family is at the same conclusion - it's only a matter of time before it happens again.really need to step in as do the police, but we're fighting a losing battle, really, because there's no way to monitor this situation.“Please stop because they are there to save lives. They are not toys.
