Mystery over man's death

DETECTIVES were yesterday investigating the "unexplained" death of a man who died from suspected serious head injuries.

The 50-year-old, who has not been named, was taken to Aberdeen Royal Infirmary after he was found by a member of the public lying in a street in the Rosemount area late on Wednesday night. He died in the early hours of yesterday. A number of streets in the Rosemount Place area remained cordoned off yesterday as forensic teams were called in.

A Grampian Police spokesman said: "It is known the man was in the Rosemount area of the city on Wednesday night.

"We would appeal for anyone who may have seen anything which could assist our inquiry to contact police.

"We are particularly keen to trace anyone who was in the Rosemount area around 10pm on Wednesday."
