POLICE are probing an unexplained death after a woman involved in a crash with an e-scooter has been found dead in a house in Aberdeen.
Officers are appealing for information regarding the collision shortly before the body was found.
A report was received at around 2.20pm on Monday, November 27 of a 43-year-old woman found dead within a property in Mastrick Close, Aberdeen.
Detectives then discovered that the woman had been involved in a crash while riding her black e-scooter on the previous Monday, November 20 and are now asking for any dashcam footage to be shared with them.

The crash took place around the corner from the property she was found in at around 5.20pm on Whitemyres Avenue.
Sergeant Peter Henderson from Road Policing said: “While it is unclear at this stage whether the collision and any injuries the woman sustained contributed to her death, it is important that we establish the full circumstances of what happened.
“I am appealing for anyone who was in Whitemyres Avenue around 5.20pm on Monday, November 20, and may have seen a woman riding a black e-scooter to please come forward.
“In particular I would urge any motorists with dash-cams who were on the road to check their footage in case they have captured anything which could be of significance to our enquiries.
“Anyone with information can contact Police Scotland on 101, quoting incident number 1784 of Monday, November 27, 2023.”
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!
