A 43-year-old man has been arrested and charged in connection with the death of a 53-year-old man in Gorgie.
Officers were called to Westfield Road at around 12.55pm on Friday (7 June) following concern for a man within a property.
The 53-year-old was subsequently pronounced dead at the scene. His next of kin are aware.
The 43-year-old man is expected to appear at Edinburgh Sheriff Court tomorrow (Monday, 10 June, 2024).
Detective Inspector David McAlinden said: “At this time, our thoughts are very much with the family and friends of the deceased.
“This was a contained incident, however we know that the police presence and subsequent road closure has had a significant impact on the local community and the wider public.
“We would like to thank everyone for their patience and understanding as officers have carried out their enquiries in the area.”
