Heartbroken family of Scot who fell from New Zealand bridge on Christmas Day pay tribute

A community will gather to pay an emotional tribute to a “loved” scots dad who tragically died after falling off a bridge in New Zealand on Christmas Day.

Duncan Gordon, 39, from Dunkeld, fell backwards from the bridge in Dunedin at around 8pm following a social gathering with friends.

Police officers and paramedics raced to save the dad-of-two but he was pronounced dead at the scene. Speaking to the Perthshire Advertiser, sister Sarah Marr said she and her family were in “shock” over the sudden death of an eldest brother she glowingly described as a “gentle giant”.
