A double death tragedy on Royal Deeside is not being treated as suspicious, police have revealed.
The bodies of two men were found at a property in Ballater’s Swann Place last Friday afternoon.
Police Scotland said: “Following an investigation and a subsequent post-mortem, police are not treating their deaths as suspicious.”
Sources over the weekend said the deaths were likely to be drug-related.
The 28-year-old victim was identified locally as Kurtis Ewen while the 44-year-old has yet to be named.
In a tribute on social media, Mahlana Knowles wrote: “Rest in Peace Kurtis. I hope you have found peace.
“Heaven has gained another angel. You will be so, so missed.”
A neighbour wrote about the second victim: “RIP Chris. A lovely guy and neighbour. Will be missed.”
