Death may be linked to drugs
POLICE are investigating the death of a 19 year-old Edinburgh man in Inverness.
Emergency services were alerted to an incident in which a young man had collapsed in the main arena at RockNess, late last night. He was taken to the hospital tent and stabilized before being transferred to Raigmore Hospital. Sadly, the man failed to respond to treatment and died during the early hours of this morning.
Early indications are that the man may have consumed drugs and this is one of the lines of enquiry at this stage. A post mortem will be carried out to determine the cause of death.
The young man was visiting the festival from Portobello, Edinburgh. His next of kin have been informed. A report will be made to the Procurator Fiscal.
