Police have confirmed that the body found in Port Edgar is that of Frightened Rabbit frontman Scott Hutchison.
A body was found near South Queensferry in the hunt for the 36-year-old, who went missing at 1am on 9 May.
Now, Police Scotland have identified the body found as Hutchison’s. The star’s family, including his brother and Frightened Rabbit bandmate Grant Hutchison, have been informed.
Yesterday, Hutchison’s family issued an appeal for the musician’s return, with his mother Marion saying: ‘Just come home Scott. Come Home.
We love you so much. We just want you back.
‘He’s much loved by his family and a lot of other people. Scott’s written songs that have helped people through a lot of difficult things.
‘Obviously we are biased but he’s a really special person, to us as a family, but also to hundreds of thousands other people.’
Scott’s brother and bandmate Grant, added: ‘We just miss him. We just want to see him, want to make sure he’s OK and just to help him through whatever it is he’s going through. We’re all here for him.’
Fans of Frightened Rabbit have flooded social media with their condolences and tributes to the Selkirk-born indie star. Hutchison had sparked concern with his final tweets, with the indie star tweeting at 3.50pm on 8 May:
‘Be so good to everyone you love. It’s not a given. I’m so annoyed that it’s not. I didn’t live by that standard and it kills me.
Please, hug your loved ones.’ At 4.09pm, he wrote: ‘I’m away now. Thanks.’
And in appeals from his family and bandmates, they said that the singer was in a ‘fragile state’.
Hutchison was celebrated for being open about his struggles with his mental health in his music, with the star talking about being ‘consumed by the negatives’ in an interview just weeks before his death.
