O no. Really sad at the moment for bodies found what look like suicide. People with decent jobs, Kirsty being a vet. There was a neurosurgeon near Glasgow found the day before, really sad to see, RIP Kirsty.

A Scottish vet who was reported missing on Friday from the Borders has been remembered as "the sweetest person", after a body was found during the search for her.

Kirsty Miller, 29, was reported missing from from Newtown St Boswells, but friends and family were left devastated after a body was discovered in Melrose at around 11:30am on Monday.

Heartbroken friends took to social media to pay tribute to Kirsty, with one writing: "This is such an awful shame. I wouldn’t have made it through my first week at high school if it wasn’t for Kirsty.

"She was such a clever girl and the sweetest person, my thoughts go out to her friends and family."

Another added: "She was a brilliant vet and a valued member of the community. She taught me so much in my final EMS weeks and will be so missed. Condolences to all family, friends and colleagues."

One added: "This is horrible news to read. I went to school with Kirsty and she was so lovely and also a great veterinary surgeon. It is just so unbelievably tragic."

This is a great post LemonMint, thank you.

Sadly it wouldn't surprise me if she was indeed found in her car after being dismissed by the BGH.

What is the BGH?

What is the BGH?

Borders General Hospital. Though there’s no confirmation that is where she was found apart from what a poster above stated.
