Police were searching an address on the same road where Mouat was last seen
A BODY discovered in a Bo’ness property is thought to be that of a man missing for nearly a month.
Police say they are confident the body which was found in Panbrae Road is that of 64-year-old Arnold Mouat.
He was last seen on July 6 at an address in the same road and a number of appeals have since been made in an attempt to trace him. A search of the area by 59 volunteers was also made and a helicopter, dog unit and search and rescue officers were deployed to try and find him.
Police Scotland are now treating the death as unexplained but not suspicious.
The body was found at about 2:45pm on Saturday.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
