POLICE have cordoned off an area underneath Glasgow Central train station after a body of a man was found.
Officers were called to the scene below the station’s bridge at around 10.20am. The death is being treated as unexplained.
Police have blocked off the lower level entrance and an area of Argyle Street, with officers stationed at the scene.
Other areas of the station appear to be open as normal.
A Police Scotland spokeswoman said: “At around 10.20am this morning, Monday April 22, police received a report of a man’s body being found on Argyle Street next to Central Station.
“Officers are in attendance and are carrying out inquiries to identify the man.
“A post mortem examination will be carried out in due course to establish the cause of death. The death is currently being treated as unexplained.”
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!
