An Ayrshire dad has died after an apparent drowning in Poland.

The body of 54-year William Higgins from Mauchline was discovered by passers-by in the River Oder on Saturday morning.

It's thought he only arrived in Poland on Friday on his son's stag night.

Robbery has been ruled out as a motive as he still had his ID and passport.

The Foreign Office have confirmed they are providing support to a family following the death of a man.

Tributes are being paid to the avid Ayr United supporter on social media with one woman calling him a gem of a guy and another saying he was a gentleman.
