Man Dies Near Edinburgh Castle, No Foul Play Suspected

A 61-year-old man, sadly passed away near Edinburgh Castle this Saturday morning, may second

around 8.45 a.m. on Castle Hill.

Emergency services rushed to the scene after police got the call, but he was pronounced

dead right there.

No suspicious circumstances at all, according to early reports.

So this looks like a medical issue gone wrong in a busy tourist spot.

The incident caused the quick ripple for visitors, with Edinburgh Castle switching up their

entrance that morning, folks had to use the North Wind steps.

From Johnston Terrace, instead of heading straight up Castle Hill, police Scotland confirmed

the details instead of report we'll head to the procurator fiscal soon to wrap things

up officially.

Tragic loss is such a historic place, but authorities are handling it smoothly with

no ongoing concerns for the public.
