Police are not treating the death of a man in Leith street as suspicious.
Emergency services were called to Wellington Place around 9.50am this morning following reports of a man taking ill.
The scene was cordoned off to allow for an investigation to take place but police have now confirmed that the death is not being treated as suspicious.
A report will be sent to the Procurator Fiscal as a matter of course.
