Dunbartonshire soldier dies after fall from Warsaw hotel

A soldier from West Dunbartonshire has died after falling from a hotel balcony in Warsaw.

25-year-old Cpl Ryan Lovatt was on a break from army duties in the Polish capital when he died.

Reports indicate that Cpl Lovatt fell 70ft from the seventh floor of a hotel in the early hours of August 1.

Cpl Lovatt was serving with the Royal Electrical and Mechanical Engineers, with the BBC reporting that he was given a military funeral at Clydebank Crematorium on Wednesday (August 21).

An Army spokesman said his death was being investigated by Polish police, supported by the Royal Military Police.

Our thoughts are with Cpl Lovatt's friends and family.
