Police believe that the deceased is 58 year old David MCLEMAN an accountant from Glen Mona. It must be stressed that due to the condition of the body true clarification on the identification can only be done scientifically, which will take further time. The vehicle concerned is a silver coloured C220 Mercedes saloon motorcar.
Mr MCLEMAN was born in Scotland and settled on the island with his wife and three children in 1996.
At this time there is no reason to suggest that there are any suspicious circumstances and Police are not looking for anyone in relation to this tragic death.
It is very important that the public refrain from any undue speculation. Whilst it is understood that the public does have an interest in this matter any misinformation could be very upsetting for the family and friends.
Police are supporting the family of Mr MCLEMAN through this difficult time and a trained Family Liaison Officer has been appointed from the onset.
For completeness and to gain a full understanding of the death, Police would still wish to hear from any person who was in the area of the Point of Ayre between 7pm and 8pm on Tuesday 9th April 2013.
It is known that Mr MCLEMAN left his home address at about 2pm that date and was in the Ramsey area about 4pm. Police further appeal to witnesses who were in contact or had seen him during that afternoon or early evening. He is softly spoken, with a Scottish accent and has hearing difficulties, should that assist prompting anyone’s memory. His hair is predominately greyer than that in the attached photograph.
Police thank members of the public for coming forward and assisting enquiries so far.
Detective Sergeant Brian SHIMMIN who is leading the investigation would like thank his Police colleagues, Fire and Rescue Personnel and other services involved for the high level of professionalism and dedication provided. Thoughts remain with the family.
A full file of the findings will be provided to The Coroner of Inquests.
