A man found dead in his Edinburgh home may have lain there since Christmas.

Police were called to the house in Slateford on Tuesday after someone reported that a 42-year-old man had not been seen recently.

He has been named locally as Kenny Tytler.

A Police Scotland spokesman said: "Police in Edinburgh were called to an address in Hutchison Avenue on Tuesday, February 23, following a report of concern for a man.

"Sadly a 42-year-old man was found dead within the property.

"Enquiries are ongoing but the death is not believed to be suspicious."
