Man dies outside UK’s first drug consumption room in Glasgow

A man has died outside Glasgow’s drug consumption facility.

Police sealed off the entrance to The Thistle on Hunter Street after the death was reported at about 10:20 on Sunday morning.

The force said that inquiries were ongoing but there did not appear to be any suspicious circumstances and a report would be sent to the procurator fiscal.

The Thistle, which opened in January 2025, is the first safer drug consumption facility in the UK.
