Inquiry Into Death of Man Who ‘Waited 40 Hours for Ambulance’ to Last a Week
A Fatal Accident Inquiry into the death of a man who reportedly waited almost two days for an ambulance to arrive at his home during the pandemic will take around a week, a court has heard. Gerard Brown, 65, from Glasgow, died on September 8 2021 after a fall at home on September 6. The Herald reported that a concierge at Mr Brown’s property called for an ambulance after he was found collapsed, but by the time paramedics reached him 40 hours later he had already died. The Crown Office said the Lord Advocate decided that a discretionary Fatal Accident Inquiry (FAI) should take place because the death happened in circumstances giving rise to “serious public concern”.
