The Police Investigations and Review Commissioner (PIRC) is to investigate the death of a man in the Highlands.
John Winton McNab, 86, died after a car was discovered having been involved in a crash on the A887 at Invermoriston.
He was the driver of a grey Mercedes B which was discovered around 1.20pm on Sunday, September 18.
Police Scotland confirmed the PIRC has been instructed by the Crown Office and Procurator Fiscal Service to investigate Mr McNab’s death.
Mr Mcnab's family has released a statement through Police Scotland, which said: “We would like to thank everyone involved in the search to trace Winton, these efforts are greatly appreciated by the family. We request that our privacy is respected at this sad time.”
Enquiries remain ongoing to establish the full circumstances surrounding Mr McNab’s death and anyone with information who has not yet spoken to police can call 101, quoting reference 1660 of 18 September, 2022.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
