Police have launched a probe after the death of a man at a flat in Dundee.

Officers were called to Dallfield Court in the Hilltown area of the city shortly before 1pm on Friday.

Neighbours reported seeing a visible police presence in the area throughout day.

Officers say the death is currently being treated as unexplained as they conduct their inquiries.

‘Police in multi’

One resident who did not wish to be named said he was “saddened” by the circumstances behind the police presence.

He said: “Two of my neighbours told me the police were in the multi for the majority of the day.

“It’s not unusual to see the police here really but I was informed it appeared quite serious given the length of time they were here.

“I’m saddened to hear someone has lost their life and my condolences go to that man’s family and friends.

“It’s far too young for someone to be taken from this world.”

Another woman who lived locally said she was aware of police being in the vicinity just before 1pm.

She said: “I didn’t know the circumstances around the police presence but I saw police outside Dallfield Court at 1pm.

“I’m so sorry to hear that someone has died, it’s absolutely tragic.

“My thoughts and prayers go to the man’s family.”
