Tragic news from Perth as the body of a 27-year-old man has been recovered from the River Tay. The discovery was made around 5:20 pm on Friday in the Moncrieffe Island area, following an extensive search operation. This involved mountain rescue teams, police air support, the dive and marine unit, and the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service. The search began after three men were reported in distress in the water on Thursday night. Two of the men were found and treated by ambulance services.
While the formal identification process is ongoing, authorities have stated there’s no suspicion of foul play. A report will be sent to the Procurator Fiscal for further review. Our thoughts are with the family and friends during this difficult time. Stay safe around water, folks!
