Sergeant Chris Murray said: “Our thoughts are with the family and friends of Mr Sandison. Officers from the Road Policing Unit travelled to the island and our inquiries are continuing into the circumstances.
” This is a small, close community and it is clear that Mr Sandison was well known in the area. The family would like to thank the community for the support they have received and to the staff who cared for Mr Sandison at the Gilbert Bain Hospital but would like privacy to deal with their unexpected loss.”
