Camper found dead in T site

By Katy Gordon on Jul 13, 08 05:04 PM in

Today took an even sadder twist as it was announced that a 32-year-old man was found dead in his tent at the festival camp site.

Tayside Police confirmed that the man, who has yet to be named, was found by friends at around 11.50am this morning, and that they immediately notified emergency service personnel. Despite their best efforts, the man was pronounced dead within the festival field hospital.

Police officials added that while the cause of death has yet to be established, there are no apparent suspicious circumstances and the death is thought to have been a medical matter.

Officers are in the process of informing next of kin, and as with all sudden deaths, a report will be submitted to the Procurator Fiscal.

It was also noted that the death is not connected to the stabbing earlier in the morning.
