Detectives have thanked members of the public who helped identify a cyclist who died at the roadside in Helensburgh.

The man, thought to be around 70-75 years of age, was pushing a distinctive green Claud Butler bike in the Argyll and Bute town at about 11:50 on Saturday when he collapsed.

Emergency services attended but the man was pronounced dead at the scene.

Police could not initially identify the man however, after a public appeal, they now believe they know who he is – though formal identification has yet to take place.

The death is not believed to be suspicious and is being treated as unexplained. A report will be sent to the procurator fiscal.

Det Sgt Neil Allison said: “I would like to extend my thanks to those people who called in to assist with our appeal.

“We believe we now know who the man is which has been helped by the assistance we received from the public.”
