Man's body pulled from Scots river unidentified as cops issue public appeal

Cops have launched an urgent appeal to identify the body of a man pulled from a Scots river.

The grim discovery was made in the waterway close to Glenwood Road in Glenrothes, at around 3.05pm on Saturday, December 11.

Emergency services raced to the river but he was tragically pronounced dead at the scene.

The death is currently being treated as unexplained and enquiries are ongoing.

Police have so far been unable to identify the man and are urging anyone with information to get in touch.

The man is described as between 40 and 50 years old, around 5ft 8in tall, of a medium to heavy build with dark greying hair and no facial hair.

He was wearing a long-sleeved black top, blue jeans and dark trainers.

Detective Inspector Michael Lynch, of Glenrothes CID, said: “Our enquiries so far have not been able to identify the man and we are asking members of the public if they can assist with our investigation.

“We are looking to establish the man’s next of kin and would urge anyone who may be able to help with identification to get in contact with officers.

“Police can be contacted on 101 quoting incident number 2136 of Saturday, 11 December, 2021.”
