A man has been discovered deceased on a busy Scots road, prompting police to initiate an investigation into the “unexplained” death.
Emergency crews hurried to Glasgow Road near the Marbury Junction at about 7.45am on April 29, following reports of concern for a man by the Shell garage.
He was tragically declared dead at the location, and police closed off the road for their inquiry.
