Sudden death probe launched as woman’s body found at Dundee multi

Hilltown Court.

A woman’s body has been found at a multi in Dundee, sparking a sudden death probe.

The 53-year-old’s body was discovered in Hilltown Court on Monday.

It is understood she was found in the building’s basement.

Police say the death is currently being treated as unexplained and inquiries are ongoing.

Officers were seen guarding a stairwell on the ground floor on Monday.

Officers were guarding a stairwell leading to a basement space at the multi.

Hilltown Court residents described the discovery as “tragic” and said there was police activity throughout the day.

One woman who asked not to be named said there was one officer stationed at the stairwell leading to a basement space.

She added: “There was a police officer sitting on the ground floor near to where the stairwell and lift is.

“Given the length of time the officer was sitting there I knew something bad had happened.

“There are police here all the time but it was unusual to see where they were positioned – I thought they were maybe waiting on someone coming back.

“At about 5.30pm I saw they were bringing a body out. It’s tragic to hear someone has been found in these circumstances.”

‘People are naturally worried’

Another man expressed his condolences, adding: “It really is a horrendous chain of events.

“We’ve been told she was found in the basement area of the building.

“My heart goes out to the poor person who found her, you start questioning how something like this can happen.

“There are some cameras on the ground floor but there are a lot of comings and goings in this building.”

He added: “It’s awful that a woman has been found in a communal area of the block.

“People are naturally worried how long the woman could have been lying there for before she was discovered.”

Police Scotland

A Police Scotland spokesperson said: “Officers were called to Hilltown Court, Dundee, on Monday November 1, 2021  following the sudden death of a 53-year-old woman.

“The death is currently being treated as unexplained and inquiries are ongoing.

“A report will be submitted to the Procurator Fiscal.”

A spokeswoman for Dundee City Council, which manages the block, added:  “It would be inappropriate to comment on an ongoing police investigation.”
