A MISSING man has been found on the banks of the River Clyde days after he vanished.
Taxi driver Andrew Charles was discovered at around 2.20pm on Wednesday on the banks of the River Clyde near to the David Livingston Centre, Blantyre.
Police Scotland confirmed the discovery today and said that, although formal identification has still to take place, it is believed to be the 54-year-old.
Andrew Charles
He had been missing from his home in Blantyre since Tuesday, October 24, and his relatives have been informed.
A post mortem examination will take place in due course to establish the exact cause of death, however, there are not believed to be any suspicious circumstances.
It had been previously reported how police launched a major search for Mr Charles who had been dealing with personal issues when he vanished.
His disappearance was described as out of character.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
