Michael Stewart's body was found earlier this month in Aberdeen
It has not yet been confirmed whether the property was checked before Mr Stewart's door was padlocked. Mrs Grant said her son had been sent a letter offering him a permanent tenancy on a property, and that the council had been aware that he had epilepsy."Maybe we should go up and check on him? Never happened."Mrs Grant, from Yorkshire, added:"Family and friends are distraught, they are heartbroken. I can't explain to you how hurt I am."I think this is negligence on the council's part.
He added:"We have carried out a review of the council's actions and can confirm the property was locked in February following an insecure external door being reported.
A very sad story, curious to know at what point his family reported him missing though. Maybe not all of the blame falls on the councils shoulders.
no surprise there
Incredible this.
Who in their right mind locks a property up without checking for occupancy first. Morons.
