The 68-year-old man was found lying face down on Lossiemouth’s Fairisle Place at midnight on Saturday.

Detective Chief Inspector, Kevin Walker, who is leading the inquiry into the death, said: “Our thoughts are obviously with this man’s family at this sad time.
“Our inquiries are continuing to establish the exact circumstances leading up to his death and at this stage his injuries are still being treated as unexplained.
“Several members of the public have already assisted with our investigation and I would like to thank them for their help.
“I would still encourage anyone who saw a man fitting his description however to please contact police if they think you have information which could help.
“You can contact Police on 101 or Crimestoppers on 0800 555111 if you would prefer to remain anonymous.”
At the time the 68-year-old, who had white hair with a greying beard, was wearing a checked shirt, blue jeans and a dark coloured hooded top.
