Cops face probe over flats death

POLICE watchdogs have been asked to investigate the case of a man who contacted Police Scotland on the day he died.

Steven Nichol, 32, fell from a block of flats in Scaraway Street in Milton, Glasgow.

The independent Police Investigations & Review Commissioner yesterday said the Crown Office have asked them to look into the case. Steven’s death on March 8 is not being treated as suspicious.

A spokesman said: “The investigation will consider the response by Police Scotland to a telephone call made by the man earlier that day.”
