Cops took 3 days to find dead 999 call pensioner in crashed car

POLICE are believed to have taken three days to find the body of a missing OAP after his car triggered a 999 call when it crashed.

Tragic 86-year-old John Winton McNab was discovered on the remote A887 road near Invermoriston, Inverness-shire.

It's understood police officers were dispatched to the area where the emergency call came from but they couldn't locate John's grey Mercedes.

When they eventually found it 72 hours later on Sunday, the pensioner had passed away sparking memories of the tragic deaths of Lamara Bell and John Yuill, who lay undiscovered for days despite police being alerted.

John's death is now being investigated by watchdog the Police Investigations and Review Commissioner (PIRC), which will report its findings to the Crown Office.

 

He was reported missing from Perth at about noon on Tuesday, September 13. It is understood his car sent the SOS call two days after the alarm was raised over his disappearance.
