The family were left in shock at the way people reacted to the news online
The pregnant girlfriend of a man who died while playing football was tagged in a post of condolence about his death on Facebook.
Councillor Tom Gordon is Leah's brother and he said "I beg of you" to members of the public to not tag family members of loved ones who have died in social media posts. "If someone's grieving it is really inappropriate to badger them online," Tom said. In a plea on his Facebook page he added: "I didn’t know Jamie terribly well, but he made my sister happier than anyone else ever had.
Tom said he was relieved that they had been able to speak to his sister first before she opened her phone.
