The Scottish Police attended a sad event where the victim was found dead on a footpath next to his faithful dog. The first officers declared it was a medical event and natural causes. A week later the police found bullet holes in the man. The Chief of Police for Scotland has said that the officers may face disciplinary measures and in future rookie officers will need more training. Now Tom is not a police officer although he is a good amateur sleuth and will give one piece of advice. If the body has round holes then he may have been shot. If he has elongated slit wounds and a dagger sticking out of his back then he may have been stabbed. That aside, these officers may have just made an honest mistake or been poorly trained.
Well this all happened in Scotland in a place called Aberfeldy, which produces a whisky known as the golden dram. Tom is drawn to taste this whiskey. Has anyone tasted this whisky? The point of the post is this. What has happened to make you want to try certain foods?
What's going on here guys? It's all over the news |

i would suggest a training requirement - if there was no obvious blood signs would they have inspected the body on site to see why they had died?
I once found a body in a tree, and on the phone to the police they asked me to check for signs of life - ummmm yea its pretty obvious there was none, the person on the phone was following a script.
if the person here was dead and no obvious outward signs of death - surely the coroner attends the scene and it would be up to them to determine the cause of death not the police officer?? |

TV has a lot to answer for. For any sudden death the plod are supposed to check body for injury but depending on the calibre of weapon, it might not be obvious. As a rule a coroner does not attend every sudden death and the person is collected by an undertaker. Can’t see how police would have found a bullet wound a week later, more likely the coroner found it meaning plod and the undertaker missed it. |

On attending any sudden or unexpected death it is basic procedure to examine the body for any signs of foul play in case a crime scene needs to be preserved sounds like someone forgot day one basics ! |

I can only speak about the legal system in Wales and England. Scotland has a different legislative system.
But down south, the coroner never attends the scene.
Nor do they examine bodies to find (or not) bullet holes.
The police act on behalf of the coroner and collect evidence.
A pathologist examines the body and collects evidence for the coroner.
The coroner is more like a judge and makes legal decisions on the case before them.
Only Quincy chased down suspects, spoke to witnesses, found the best clues and made the tea. It's not real life.

Reports that a 75 year old man has been arrested in connection with this shooting. The two 'Polis' which is the way the Scottish pronounce Police, may face misconduct or even be promoted which is tried and tested way to reward police failure. Now you may call Tom old fashioned but if he were out walking a dog and was found riddled with bullet holes then he hopes that PC Plod may find that suspicious. When Tom was a little boy, the Chief of Police only employed men over 6ft tall and they could stop a ruck with an old fashioned wooden stick which was called a truncheon. Now it seems they have to have a degree, be 5ft 4inches tall and be thick as mince. Once our brave boys in blue were feared and called a force. Now they are a Service and a joke. Back to basics and start again. The first police were called the Bow Street Runners and were called Peelers after Sir Robert Peel. Tom has added this just for educational reasons.

Surely to have been missed they couldn’t have been shot at close range because that would have been messy and thus obvious.
Were they near woods where shooting goes on?
Accidentally shot after being mistaken for Pheasant perhaps?
