    SUICIDES amongst elderly Scots have risen dramatically as support groups have registered an increase in concerns about chronic isolation and loneliness.
    Suicides in
    Scotland have risen for the first time in six years as new figures show in 2016, 728 people took their own lives in Scotland - 56 more than the previous year - with 71 per cent of those being men.
    But the National Records of Scotland report also reveals that in the six years to the start of 2017 while suicides amongs Scots aged 15 to 49 have been on the decline, those taking their lives between 60 and 74 have risen by 27 percent from 86 to 109. Around two in every three OAP suicide is a man.

    It's been ages since we've seen ER, any chance he's topped himself?

    Once you reach 60 years of age in Scotland most of your friends and family are already long gone

    No it was muesli actually and the police reckon it might not have been suicide but actually a strong currant that pulled him under....
