A toddler spent two days alone with his
mother’s body after she died at home, it has been reported.
Lydia Macdonald, 28, was
found dead at the property in Lickley Court, Perth, on Wednesday evening. Her
death is being treated as unexplained.
Her father Ronald told the
Daily Record her three-year-old son Mason, who is now an orphan, was found
alone with his mother’s body.
He told the newspaper: ‘We are Mason’s next of kin and have been in the hospital with him from the start. He was very sad to begin with but has brightened up considerably. He has been told about his mum but we’re not sure how much he understands. We’ll be looking after him.’
He described his daughter
as a ‘very funny and caring person’ and said she ‘absolutely adored Mason to
bits and was a wonderful mum to him.’
A post-mortem examination
has yet to take place.
A Police Scotland
spokesman said: ‘Police attended at Lickley Court, Perth, on Wednesday
June 10 at 8.10pm following the sudden death of a 28-year-old woman.
‘The death is being
treated as unexplained and inquiries are continuing.’
