Police knocked on the door of a grieving Scots mum and claimed to have her drunk son in the back of their van - 15 months after her own son died. Tracey Hadlow lost her 20-year-old son Nathan after an accidental overdose in April 2021. He had taken street Valium, cocaine and methadone - a polydrug cocktail.

Tracy said she was awoken by cops banging on her door at 3.45am to tell her they had her son - before the officers realised they were at the wrong house.
The NHS Clinical Support worker added: "The officer told me my boy was in the van. My boy is dead and my other son was sitting in the living room.
"When I told the officer the situation, he just stared at me with a vacant look. He obviously knew then that he had made a mistake, but he wasn't quick to apologise."
Tracy has spent the last year mourning the sudden loss of her boy and said having police back at her house brought back an abundance of emotions she has been desperately trying to cope with.
She explained: "It was a distressing situation which brought back all the emotions I felt when I found out my boy died last year. It was not okay. I felt extremely heartbroken all over again.
