David Hughes was missing for almost a week
|
A body found in a tent in the southern Cairngorms was that of a missing Edinburgh doctor, police confirmed.
David Hughes, 37, a Surgeon Lieutenant Commander in the Royal Navy, went missing a week ago after a nightshift at a hospital in Livingston.
Mountain rescue teams discovered a tent with a body of a man inside it near the Linn of Quoich on Tuesday evening.
Police said a post-mortem examination would be carried out but that there were no suspicious circumstances.
Dr Hughes, originally from Newton Abbot in Devon, was an anaesthetist at St John's Hospital in Livingston.
His body was identified by his family.
During tearful appeals for news of his whereabouts, his wife Joanne, 34, had said she was convinced his long hours and job stress had contributed to his going missing.
