In brief

Scottish businessman Campbell Scott, who recently went missing in Kenya, has been confirmed dead. The 58-year-old, originally from Fife, was attending a conference at Nairobi’s JW Marriott Hotel when he was last sighted by colleagues on February 16. This news has left his employer, FICO, heartbroken, as they announced that local police have identified his body. A spokesperson expressed that the staff is "devastated," reminiscing about Scott’s impactful leadership within their international Scores business since his accession in 2014. Beyond his professional achievements, colleagues remember him for his warmth and humor.

Mr. Scott was educated at Woodmill High School and Kirkcaldy Technical College, eventually embarking on a successful career that included several roles in the corporate sector before joining FICO. Amidst ongoing investigations and a prior search involving Interpol, local police have yet to disclose the circumstances surrounding his death. The UK Foreign Office has been contacted for further information, while the family's privacy has been requested during this challenging time. In a poignant reminder of how quickly life can change, the sudden loss of Campbell Scott reverberates deeply through both his personal and professional circles.
