Another body is pulled from the water just days after double drowning tragedy
The incident came three days after two young men drowned up stream at Balloch after going for a swim.
At the time of going to press it had not been revealed whether Sunday’s tragic episode on the waterway was the another drowning or something more sinster.
A post mortem will need to be carried out before this is known.
Sunday’s drama began after the floating corpse was spotted in the river by a member of the public at 11am near Ballantynes Distillery.
Police, fire brigade and the coast guard were all involved in recovering the remains of the unidentified victim.
A police spokesperson told the Reporter that enquiries regarding the man's identity were underway and a post mortem would be carried out.
