To be fair to Police Scotland it has only been alleged that the body was dragged, that is far from confirmed. Not saying they didn't mess that up but I have seen a number of bodies transported and moved and it sometimes is not pretty and could certainly be upsetting especially if you knew the person. The poor kid was found in an isolated marshy area it may well have been a pretty physical process to recover the body which would be understandable albeit upsetting.

There may well have been some foul play involved and I think it is likely people probably know more than they are saying publicly. I hate to even say this as I am fearful people who know the poor guy might read this but it is also entirely possible, likely even, that this was a terrible accident. I believe it has been confirmed he was drinking and taking street Valium. Add this to the fact he was in an isolated area near an open body of water while not being properly dressed for the conditions and it is easy to see how something may have gone wrong. Even if there was some foul play it is easy to see how these circumstances would create a pretty believable alternative to what may have had happened which might make arresting and prosecuting anyone pretty difficult. That street Valium is a curse and a poison and you need do nothing more than walk around Central Station and observe some of the folks taking it there to see how easily someone in the wrong environment could find themselves in a lot of trouble when taking that stuff.
