Tributes to man found dead after T in the Park

-

Heartbroke­n relatives have paid tribute to a father-of-three who died on his way home from T in the Park.

Jim Richardson was laid to rest at a ceremony at his home town of Craigneuk, Wishaw, yesterday.

The 29-year-old was reported missing after he stepped off a bus leaving the Strathalla­n Castle festival site on Monday July 11.

He texted his wife to say he was stranded on the A9, near Auchterard­er, after the coach left without him.

His body was found the following morning at Forteviot, several miles away. Police said his death was not suspicious.

The Police Investigat­ions and Review Commission­er has now launched an investigat­ion into the initial police response when Mr Richardson was first reported missing.
