Police knocked on the door of a grieving Scots mum and claimed to have her drunk son in the back of their van - 15 months after her own son died. Tracey Hadlow lost her 20-year-old son Nathan after an accidental overdose in April 2021. He had taken street Valium, cocaine and methadone - a polydrug cocktail.
The 53-year-old from Deans, Livingston, said she was left distressed on July 3 this year, after answering the door to two police officers who brought an 'intoxicated' stranger to her house, claiming he was her dead child. She told the Daily Record she felt like she was reliving the moment officers chapped her door on the night Nathan died.
The mum-of-three said: "When I think about it now, I want to cry. It was awful. When Nathan died, police came to the house late at night to tell me they had found his body. I felt like I was reliving that nightmare all over again."
