Police officers acted appropriately in their dealings with a man who was later found dead in his flat, an independent investigation has concluded.
At about 12.30am on July 18, 2020, police were called by members of the public after a 34-year-old man was found lying in the streets of a town in the Northern Isles.
When police approached him, he was found to be asleep and under the influence of alcohol.
