Walter Mitty conman Christopher Ireland found dead at his Dundee flat

A convicted conman who tried to sue firms for millions of pounds has been found dead at his home.

Christopher Ireland, 40, was banned from being a company director and conducted a series of scandalous business enterprises which led to a six-year jail term in 2012. Ireland was found at his flat on Loons Road, Dundee, at 11pm on January 1 and police believe there are no suspicious circumstances.

Paramedics attended the scene but were unable to resuscitate him. The businessman has tried to start up many different ventures and referred to himself as “Dr Christopher Ireland”.
