POLICE were last night carrying out a post mortem to try and establish how a pensioner died – amid fears his body could have been left lying in his council home for weeks.
The body of William Lynn, 70, was finally found by officers who entered his house in the Clermiston area of Edinburgh after being tipped off by worried council workers.
They couldn’t get in touch with him over months of unpaid rent and called in officers to investigate.
Lothian and Borders Police would last night say only that the circumstances surrounding his death remained “unexplained”.
