The body of a man was found in the Greenhill Road area around 12.40pm today.

"The death is being treated as unexplained, but there are not believed to be any suspicious circumstances."

Mr Doherty, 53, was last seen around 10am on April 25 in the Love Street area of Paisley. He had been known to beg for money in the Govan area.

As part of an appeal last week, Inspector Robert Anderson, of Govan Police station, said: “Peter hasn’t been in contact with his friends or family for a number of days now and hasn’t been keeping to his normal routine which is completely out of character for him.”

A report will be submitted to the Procurator Fiscal.
