Fisherman’s sudden death

SHETLAND police reported that a 51 year old fisherman had died suddenly on a Fraserburgh fishing boat on Tuesday morning.

The Rebecca came in to Lerwick harbour at around 6.30am after reporting a dead crew man on board.

The police, who boarded the vessel and carried out enquiries, said the death was not thought to be suspicious but will not release the dead man’s name until next of kin have been informed.

A report is to be submitted to the procurator fiscal.
