Court process begins for FAI into death of Moodiesburn man

The Crown Office and Procurator Fiscal Service (COPFS) has lodged a first notice to begin the court process for a fatal accident inquiry into the death of Thomas Cochrane.

The 52-year-old died on the evening of Monday 21 January 2019 at Glasgow Royal Infirmary after being found unconscious in the rear of his works van at his home address.

A preliminary hearing is set for 25 June 2024 at Glasgow Sheriff Court.

The inquiry will explore the circumstances of Mr Cochrane’s death, with an anticipated focus on the follow up care and contact he had with University Hospital Monklands and Stobhill Hospital.

The inquiry is also expected to consider the sharing and/or recording of information between and within University Hospital Monklands, Stobhill Hospital, and other specialist mental health units.
