A BLACK Watch soldier who suffered post traumatic stress after serving in Afghanistan has been found dead at home.

Aaron Black, 21, had been suffering from depression after returning from front-line combat to his home in Blairgowrie. The infantryman was found dead at the weekend.

Friends paid tribute to him on a website set up in his memory by his friend, and combat medical technician Emz Fish Fullagar, who said Mr Black had been haunted by his time spent in combat.

She said: “In our eyes, Aaron was a hero who died through injuries from Afghanistan. These injuries were not physical, but mental.”
