The grandparents of a teenage girl who died from a heroin overdose in Dundee hope her tragic death will act as a warning to others.
Gail Blake's body was found lying in a house round the corner from where she lived with her grandparents in the Whitfield area of the city.
The 16-year-old's devastated family say she had ambitions of a career on the stage.
But instead they have been left devastated by the waste of her young life to the scourge of drugs.
The Sun reported on Friday that Gail died last Friday after overdosing on heroin after she started dabbling in drugs last summer.
Her grandmother, Gail Johnston, told STV News: "She wanted to be a singer and a dancer - she was just a lovely girl. She was full of fun.
"I just don't know how we are going to get through her funeral on Monday.
"I just think that the people who sell the kids these drugs are the scum of the earth.
"The more people who shop them to the police the better to get them off the streets."
