Human remains found on Loch Lomond shore identified as missing man

Human remains discovered on the shore of Loch Lomond have been identified as a man reported missing from Glasgow last month.

A member of the public discovered the remains at Rubha Dubh, near Firkin Point, on September 13.

They have since been identified as belonging to Graham Wright, who was reported missing on August 25.

The 38-year-old was last seen on Cumberland Street in the Gorbals area on August 20 but police say he may have also have been in the same area around 9.30am on September 5.

Mr Wright’s death is currently being treated as unexplained.

A major investigation is under way supported by the dog unit, police helicopters and the dive and marine unit.

Detectives are asking anyone who was travelling on the A82 between September 1 and September 13 and who could have dash cam footage to get in touch.

Anyone who was on board a boat or any other vessel or who was using the water near Firkin Point for any purpose during the same window of time is also asked to come forward.

“It is vital we get answers for them and extensive enquiries are ongoing to establish how his remains came to be on the shore of Loch Lomond.
