BBC reports that Kennedy died at his home in Fort William aged 55. His family said they were devastated to lose a "fine man and loving father". David Cameron, Nick Clegg and Nicola Sturgeon have led tributes to the former MP, while ex-PM Tony Blair said the death was an "absolute tragedy".

However, according to DAILY MAIL, friends of the deceased politician today said 'It was drink that got him'. The former Liberal Democrat leader, who for years battled alcoholism, was 'devastated' and 'heartbroken' after losing his seat on May 7 and the death of his father Ian during the campaign.

Kennedy had not been seen publicly since his speech on the podium after his defeat on May 7.
