Mr Gray, aged 73, was killed by his son Christopher Gray on 23 February 2021 in the flat they shared in Falkirk. 

A preliminary hearing is set for 25 April 2025 in Falkirk Sheriff Court.  

Procurator fiscal Andy Shanks, who leads on death investigations for the Crown Office, said: “The death of Alexander Gray occurred in circumstances giving rise to significant public concern and as such a discretionary Fatal Accident Inquiry should be held.  

“An FAI will allow a full public airing of the evidence of the procurator fiscal’s wider investigations with interested parties. The evidence will be tested in a public setting and be the subject of an independent judicial determination.  

“Mr Alexander Gray’s family will continue to be kept informed of significant developments as court proceedings progress.”
