Inquiry to be held into death of two-month-old baby in Aberdeen

The court process has started for a fatal accident inquiry (FAI) into the death of a two-month-old baby in Aberdeen almost four years ago.

Michael Wilson was born on 11 August 2021 at Aberdeen Maternity Hospital and died at the Royal Aberdeen Children’s Hospital on 15 October the same year.

The Crown Office and Procurator Fiscal Service (COPFS) said the inquiry would “establish facts” surrounding the death rather than “apportion blame”.

A preliminary hearing has been set for 11 September at Aberdeen Sheriff Court.

The FAI will also consider whether NHS Grampian’s reviews identified sufficient and appropriate measures to prevent the occurrence of any similar deaths in the future.

Procurator fiscal Andy Shanks said: “The Lord Advocate considers that the death of Michael Wilson occurred in circumstances giving rise to serious public concern and as such a discretionary FAI should be held.

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

NHS Grampian said it would not be appropriate to comment in advance of the proceedings.
