Police descended on a Dunfermline hotel on Saturday evening following the sudden death of a person.
The alarm was raised at around 4.40pm, with several police vehicles arriving at the Travelodge on Kingseat Road.
A fire engine and ambulance were also despatched to the scene, with police confirming soon after that having initially responded to a call relating to the concern of a person, a body had been found.
It followed earlier rumours on social media that a hostage situation had been under way at the hotel, claims strongly denied by the police, who also stated that there had been no wider risk to the public.
