'HUMAN remains' appear to have been found at the site of a fire in Glasgow.
Police were called to a report of a fire in Househill Park near Harstone Road in the city's Pollok on Wednesday morning.
Now officers say that they appear to have found human remains.
They have provided no further details but only said that the death is being treated as unexplained.
The news emerged as officers erected a blue and white forensic tent in the park area. Tents are usually used by police when bodies have been found.
A Police Scotland statement said: "Officers in Glasgow were called around 7.35am on Wednesday, 4 August, to a report of a fire in Househill Park near Hartstone Road in Glasgow.
