[BillyHills]

Took this from the RP, shocking news. RIP

PETER MONTEITH, one of Scotland's leading jumps trainers, has been found dead at his home after an apparent suicide. Police attended after an emergency call to the trainer's yard in Rosewell, Midlothian on Sunday night. A police spokesman said: "Lothian and Borders Police and ambulance personnel attended at an address in Rosewell, Midlothian on Sunday evening in response to an emergency call. "A 61-year-old man was conveyed to Edinburgh Royal Infirmary where he was pronounced dead shortly after arrival. "Whilst enquiries are at an early stage there are not thought to be any suspicious circumstances at this time and a report will be submitted to the Procurator Fiscal in respect of the circumstances." Earlier in the day Monteith had been at Kelso where he saddled three runners, including a second and a third. Monteith saddled Dizzy to win the County Hurdle at Cheltenham in 1994 but enjoyed his best season in 2007-08 with 34 winners. He had had four successes so far this season.
