Members of the Glencoe Neighbourhood Watch were alerted when they spotted the GP registered Mercedes Benz parked off the road.

One member checked inside the car and discovered an elderly man slumped in the driver’s seat. There appeared to have been a short in the car’s engine as a fire was still smouldering

A door was finally opened and a passing paramedic flagged down.  The man was pronounced dead on the scene.

It was also evident that there had been a fire in the engine – and the smoke may have overcome the driver.

His identify was not immediately known but it appears as if he was working in the Nquthu area but lived locally.

An inquest docket has been opened.
