The purpose of an FAI includes determining the cause of death, the circumstances in which the death occurred, and to establish what reasonable precautions could have been taken to avoid deaths in similar circumstances.

Procurator fiscal Andy Shanks said: “Following a detailed investigation, the Procurator Fiscal decided that it was in the public interest to hold a discretionary joint fatal accident inquiry to look at the full circumstances surrounding the tragic deaths of Leo Lamont, Ellie McCormick, and Mirabelle Bosch and hopefully help avoid such deaths happening again.

“The families will continue to be updated as the Inquiry progresses.”
