A paedophile turned fake football agent has been found dead in a Glasgow flat.
Jonathan Hope is believed to have killed himself in a flat in Govan last week.
The 38-year-old, who once falsely claimed he brokered England star Danny Welbeck’s £16million move to Arsenal, was convicted of taking indecent pictures of children at his home in Ayr between 2011 and 2014.
It was his second conviction involving kids after he had been jailed in 2003 for downloading indecent images of children.
It's reported Hope had recently converted to Islam and was said to be attending a mosque five times a day for prayers.
However, cops were called to an address in Govan last week where Hope was found dead at the scene.
Police say there are no suspicious circumstances surrounding his death.
