A grieving West Lothian mum has been left distraught after the police knocked on her door claiming 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 child Nathan in an accidental overdose in April 2021. He had taken street Valium, cocaine and methadone.
The 53-year-old mum from Deans, Livingstone, said she was left distressed on July 3 this year when she answered 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.
