The body of a 56-year-old man has been discovered at a property in Edinburgh.
Emergency services descended on New Lairdship Place in the town at around noon on Saturday September 13 following the report of a death.
Shocked locals noticed the road had been locked down with one commenting there was a ‘serious police presence,’ reports Edinburgh Live.
Forensic cops scoured the scene, with three officers in white suits were spotted at the scene.
The death is not being treated as suspicious and a report will be sent to the Procurator Fiscal shortly.
An eye witness, who wished to remain anonymous, previously said: “Broomhouse is normally a really quite place during the day and you don’t normally see an emergency service response like that in a residential street.”
A Police Scotland spokesperson said: “We received a report of the death of a 56-year-old man at a property on New Lairdship Place, Edinburgh, around 12pm on Saturday, 13 September, 2025.
“There are not believed to be any suspicious circumstances and a report will be sent to the Procurator Fiscal in due course.”
