Body found in Kilsyth flat as police launch probe into 'unexplained' death

A 56-year-old man has been found dead in North Lanarkshire.

Police are now investigating after the body of Stephen Rintoul was found within a flat on Manse Road, Kilsyth on August 2.

A post mortem examination was carried out on August 10 and police are now tracing Stephen’s movements from Saturday July 25.

The last confirmed sighting of Stephen was the afternoon of August 1.

Detective Chief Inspector Kevin Houliston said: “At this time, we are treating Kevin’s death as unexplained.

"Findings from the post mortem merit further enquiry and we need to piece together Stephen’s movements from the 25 July.

“I am asking people to think back over the last few days and consider if they saw Stephen. Did you see him socialise with anyone, do you know where he was, who did he meet and who did he speak to?

"This information will assist us in piecing everything together and establishing the circumstances of Stephen’s death.

"Stephen’s family is understandably very upset and trying to come to terms with what has happened. We are keeping them fully informed of any developments.”

Anyone with information is asked to call officers on 01506 445345 quoting incident number 3336 of 2 August. Alternatively, call Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111 where information can be given anonymously.
