Police are still treating the death of well known Nazareth roadie Robert Kennedy as unexplained, more than a week after they appealed for the public’s help.
But officers revealed they now had a clearer picture of the Dunfermline man’s last movements thanks to the response to their call for information.
Mr Kennedy, 63, was a former roadie with legendary hard rock band Nazareth and a well-known figure on the music scene.
He was found unconscious at his home in Halbeath Road on Wednesday June 1 and was taken to Victoria Hospital, Kirkcaldy, where he later died.
Nazareth band mates announced his death “with great sadness and a collective heavy heart” in a Facebook post two days later.
Detective Inspector John Anderson, the officer leading the investigation into Mr Kennedy’s death, said: “Following our earlier appeal for information we had an excellent response from members of the public that has provided us with a clear picture of Robert’s movements over the course of the weekend prior to his death until he was last seen on the morning of Sunday May 29.
“This information has allowed us to provide Robert’s family with a detailed account of his last movements and some comfort surrounding the circumstances of his death.”
Mr Anderson said that enquiries had established that Mr Kennedy had been seen with injuries to his face after he had been to the Leroy Day charity music event at PJ Molloys in Dunfermline on Sunday May 1.
“We still do not know for certain how he came by these injuries and would appeal for anyone with any information that may be relevant to contact us,” he said.
“We continue to appeal for anyone who saw Robert between the date he was last seen, Sunday May 29, and Wednesday June 1 when he was found at his home address.”
Mr Kennedy, known as Rab, was the Nazareth roadie for almost 20 years and would often meet friends in local pubs for drinks and go to various venues to watch bands.
His death is said to have come as a great shock to family and friends.
Initial investigations ascertained that Mr Kennedy was out with friends watching the Champions League final on Saturday May 28, and had gone to the East Port Bar before moving on to the City Hotel.
He then ended up in the Brass House in the early hours of the morning and arrived home shortly after 2am.
