Man found dead in flat

- BY JAMES SIMPSON

RESIDENTS of a Dundee multi have expressed their shock as police investigat­ed the death of a man in his 40s.

The man was found dead in a flat in Adamson Court, Lochee, yesterday morning.

Police have confirmed there did not appear to be any suspicious circumstan­ces surroundin­g the death and a report is being complied for the Procurator Fiscal.

An officer was stationed inside the building in the early hours of the morning as neighbours said they were “saddened” by the news.

One resident passed on his condolence­s to the man’s loved ones and added: “I was aware of two or three officers on the landing just after 1am on Tuesday morning.

“I’d initially looked out because of the noise and saw the officers at the front door of the property.

“When I came to put the rubbish out in the afternoon I saw one officer remained situated outside the address.

“My condolence­s go out to the person’s loved ones.”

Another neighbour said she was scared when she saw the police presence.

“There have been police on this landing a number of times in the past with one issues or another,” she said. “We have young children living here and given the ongoing police issues they are scared with what we are seeing on our doorstep.

“When I saw the officer standing outside the door of the property at around 9am on Tuesday I knew it must have been serious.

“I’m still shocked however to hear the someone has passed away at the address.”

A Police Scotland spokespers­on said: “Police were called around 1.10am on Tuesday March 30 2021 following the report of the sudden death of a 47-year-old man at a property on Adamson Court in Dundee.

“Officers attended and there does not appear to be any suspicious circumstan­ces surroundin­g the death.

“As with all sudden deaths, a report will be submitted to the Procurator Fiscal.”
