Police are appealing for information following the death of a man in Musselburgh last week.
The body of 25 year old Darran Everett was discovered in the town’s harbour just before 6pm on Friday 13th October. His death is being treated as unexplained and as part of their inquiries into his death, officers are appealing for anyone who may have seen Darran before this to come forward.
Detective Inspector Graham Garvie of the Lothians and Scottish Borders CID is leading the investigation and said: “Darran was last seen at a property in Burns Wynd in Musselburgh at 6pm on Thursday 12th October. We are seeking to establish where he went after he left this address and prior to his body being found, and ultimately how he died.
“Darran was wearing a black hooded Mckenzie jacket with a red logo, navy jogging bottoms and blue sand shoes with a white sole when he was last seen – he was 5′ 4” tall, of slim build and had short brown hair.
“We are working hard to provide answers to Darran’s family and friends about his death and I would like to offer my sympathies to them at this difficult time. Anyone who knows of Darran’s whereabouts on Thursday night or Friday is urged to contact my team at Dalkeith Police Station immediately.”
Anyone with information should contact Police Scotland on 101 quoting incident 3061 of Friday 13th October, or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
