Police in Edinburgh say the death of a 31-year-old man is not being treated as suspicious after his body was found in the city centre.
Officers were called to Hunter Square off the Royal Mile at about 9.40am on Tuesday after the body was discovered by concerned members of the public. The area around the square was cordoned off with police tape, with officers standing guard and an ambulance crew on scene.
One bench in the square was covered with a silver protective cover. The cordon remained in place for several hours, with police officers seen to advise pedestrians of the cordons in place.
