Police investigating a fatal fire in a luxury lodge at Piperdam still do not know what started the inferno more than a week after it happened.
Officers were still picking their way through the charred remains of the lodge at Piperdam Golf and Leisure Resort on Thursday, seven days after it was consumed by fire in an early-morning blaze.
The damage was so extensive that it was not until more than 24 hours later that a body understood to be that of Jamie McLennan was found amid the debris.
A Police Scotland mobile command unit remains on-site and the area has been sealed off with police tape.
A week into the investigation, police still do not know how the fire started and still have not been able to confirm that the remains are those of Mr McLennan.
However, flowers have been laid at the site by his relatives who have been told the body is likely that of the 26-year-old from Aberdeen.
Police have not ruled out foul play.
It emerged this week that Mr McLennan had only just been released from prison following an altercation at T in the Park, where he threatened police officers after claiming he had been sexually assaulted.
He was last seen getting into a taxi near the Grosvenor Casino in Dundee at around 3.30am on Thursday September 24, just four hours before the blaze that claimed his life occurred.
Clarke McLennan posted a fresh tribute to his cousin on social media this week.
He said: “Woke up hoping this was all a bad dream and not real. After looking over Facebook and seeing all the posts just shows how much of a legend we have lost.
“He meant so much to everyone. We all know he was a loose cannon but he was OUR loose cannon!
“You will never ever be forgotten and we will never find anyone anything like you Jamie! Cousin brother best mate! Going to be a hard couple of days processing all this. RIP JAMIE LOVE YOU.”
A police spokeswoman said inquiries into the incident are ongoing.
Fire crews were called to the luxury resort near Dundee at 7.30am last Thursday, when they faced a well-developed fire. A hose reel and two jet hose reels were needed to put out the blaze.
