A man has died after being found unconscious on a beach.

The man was discovered by a member of the public near a car park at Longniddry Bents in East Lothian.

Emergency services were summoned following the discovery at 7.45am on Sunday, but the man was pronounced dead at the scene.

Police are appealing to the public for information as they work to confirm his identity.

Officers said there are no suspicious circumstances surrounding the death and revealed that he had previously been at the Oktoberfest event in Gosford House.

The man is described as white, in his early to mid twenties with short brown hair.

Inspector Laura Dickson said: “This has been a tragic death of a young man and we are actively trying to identify him and locate his next of kin as a matter of urgency.

“I would ask anyone who knows of someone who was at Oktoberfest but who has not come home yet to contact police immediately. 

“In addition, anyone with any further information relevant to our inquiries is also asked to get in touch.”

Police Scotland can be contacted on the 101 number.
