Hillwalker found dead in Van

The body of hillwalker, Mick Coffield, has been found in the back of his van in a lay-by in Perthshire, following a Munro trip.

Mick’s Renault Traffic van was parked at the side of the A93 near Finegand Farm after he had completed a walk over the Lochnagar hills. The police confirmed that Mick Coffield was an experienced hillwalker and stated that it is not thought the cold weather contributed to his death which police are not treating as suspicious. As is usual in sudden death cases a report will be submitted to the procurator fiscal.
