Man’s body found in multi bin chute
THE body of a man has been found inside a rubbish chute at a Dundee multi.
The grim discovery was made by a concierge arriving for work at Elder’s Court in Lochee yesterday morning.
It is understood the body may have been lying inside the chute since Friday.
The man has not been formally identified but he is believed to have been in his 30s and to have lived in the multi.
A source said: “When the concierge went on duty he was doing his rounds and emptying the rubbish chutes when he came across the body.
“We believe it to be the body of a resident of Elder’s Court. People here know who it is.
“It’s not unusual for people to shelter in the rubbish chutes or in that area if they get locked out of their flats for any reason.
“It’s a dreadful thing to have happened and awful for the poor man who found him.”
A resident said: “There has been a lot of police activity here today.
“I was told that a body had been chute.
“It’s so sad this has happened and my thoughts are with the man’s friends and family.”
Police confirmed a man’s body was found in the Lochee multi yesterday morning but said he has not been formally identified.
A spokesman said: “Police Scotland was made aware that the body of a man was found at Elder’s Court in Dundee around 8.10am on Monday April 27.
“The death is currently being treated as unexplained.
“A report will be submitted to the procurator fiscal in due course.”
