Body recovered from Larkhall water is that of missing Jamie Waugh

The body of a man found in water in Larkhall has now been formally identified as missing Lanarkshire man Jamie Waugh.

Police Scotland last night (Thursday) confirmed that the body recovered from water near to Glen Avenue on Sunday was that of the 29-year-old.

Jamie had been missing for over six months. His family have been informed.

Jamie, who lived in Larkhall but also had links to Blantyre, was reported missing back in February with extensive searches and appeals in a bid to trace him.

He had last been seen around 4am on Sunday, January 31, 2021, when he left an address in Glen Avenue in the town.

A spokeswoman for Police Scotland told Lanarkshire Live : "There would not appear to be any suspicious circumstances surrounding his death.

"A full report has be sent to the Procurator Fiscal."
