“The death is being treated as unexplained and enquiries are ongoing.”
Residents near the scene of the incident have reported seeing an influx of police activity during the day, and claimed that a footpath to Eliburn Park had been taped off by the authorities.
Another who lives at nearby Buchanan Crescent said: “Back path is cordoned off so nobody can walk through. We watched them put it up this morning and apparently there is more police at the underpass.
“Police won’t say anything but very worrying.”
The police spokesperson also said an appeal will be issued later today and anyone with information should get in touch.
