Reading time: 1 minute
The Crown Office has lodged a first notice to begin the court process for a fatal accident inquiry into the death of Archie Donald.
Three-year-old Archie died at the Royal Hospital for Children at the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital Campus, Glasgow on 20 November 2019.
A preliminary hearing is set for 15 May 2024 at Glasgow Sheriff Court.
Procurator fiscal Andy Shanks, who leads on death investigations for COPFS, said: “The lord advocate considers that it is in the public interest for a discretionary fatal accident inquiry to be held into the circumstances of the death of Archie Donald to ensure there can be a full public hearing of the facts of the case.
“The lodging of the first notice enables FAI proceedings to commence under the direction of the sheriff.
“Archie’s family will continue to be kept informed of significant developments as court proceedings progress.”
