Police investigation launched following ‘unexplained’ Dundee death

Police have launched an investigation following the “unexplained” death of a 47-year-old man.

Officers went to an address on Douglas Road, Dundee, on Monday at around noon and remained there for most of the day.

The body of a man was discovered at the property by police.

It is not known if he lived there.

Tayside Division said a report on the man’s death would be submitted to the procurator fiscal.

One passerby, who did not want to be named, said: “I was out for a walk in the evening when I saw the two police vans parked at Douglas Road.

“There was a smaller Transit-type van and parked behind that was a bigger riot-type van with a guard over the windscreen.

“A policeman got out of one of the vans, with the engine still running, and went into one of the houses on the street.

“He seemed to be in a bit of a hurry but it was quite quiet – there didn’t seem to be a lot of activity going on, so whatever had happened must have come to an end.”

A police spokeswoman confirmed officers had launched a probe into the man’s death.

She said: “Police attended at Douglas Road, Dundee, following the sudden death of a 47-year-old man.

“The death is being treated as unexplained and a report will be submitted to the procurator fiscal.”

Incidents are reported to the fiscal when the cause of death cannot be immediately identified by a doctor – meaning a death certificate cannot be issued at that stage.
