A man has been found dead inside a caravan in Dundee.

Police were called to the vehicle parked at the side of Broughty Ferry Road, near the junction with East Dock Street, on Monday.

They found the body of the 51-year-old inside.

Officers taped off a section of the pavement while they conducted an investigation.

A forensics officer was seen taking photos just before 6pm.

Officers lifted the cordon a couple of hours later.

Police are treating the death as unexplained but it is not thought to be suspicious.

Man found dead in caravan in Dundee

Residents say the man appeared to have been living in the caravan on and off in recent months.

One local, who did not want to be named, told The Courier: “We became aware of the police presence just before 6pm and saw what we thought was CID and forensics.

“There have been a number of caravans parked across the road in those spaces.

“We’d seen a man living there on several occasions, though he wasn’t always around.

“The generator was running overnight on Friday, so we knew he was back.

“We’re saddened to hear that someone has died.”
