DUNDEE'S seventh suicide victim in just over a month hanged himself from the same tree as a tragic pal.

Dad-of-two Scott McIntosh, 21, was found dead by a dogwalker on Monday. And just weeks earlier his friend Scott Nichol, 22, took his own life at the same spot.

Goodbye ... tribute to tragic dad
Karen McArthur, mum of the latest victim's children, said: "We saw him on Saturday, he seemed really happy. When Scott Nichol died we all thought it was our Scott. I was crying. But he turned up. He spoke about his pal on Saturday, saying it was a stupid thing to do.

"Scott was on medication for depression, but he'd taken it on Sunday before he went out with a pal. I don't understand how he took his tablets and then did this." Karen, 20, told how Scott - dad to Reece, two, and one-year-old Demi, had just moved in with girlfriend Chelsie Tilley and her son Jayden.

She said: "They were looking at engagement rings."

Karen's mum, Mandy McArthur, 40, added: "He was delighted that Demi had started crawling. He was a doting dad, especially of Reece."

Emotional tributes to Scott were yesterday left at the scene of the tragedy near Baldovan House. One read: "To my wee man, love you always, Dad xxx."
