Death of patients at Glasgow hospital to be investigated, prosecutors confirm

"Cuddihy, who was diagnosed with a rare bone cancer at the age of 15, was treated at the royal hospital for children and the adjacent QEUH, which are both part of a six-year public inquiry that reached its final stages last month. She died last August, her organs irreparably weakened by the powerful drugs used to combat the infections as well as her cancer treatment."

"The COPFS had previously confirmed that investigations were under way into four deaths, including that of 10-year-old Milly Main who died in 2017, two other children and of 73-year-old Gail Armstrong, who died in 2019 and was being treated for an aggressive form of non-Hodgkin lymphoma when she contracted a fungal infection commonly associated with pigeon droppings. In addition, the COPFS"

Prosecutors are investigating the deaths of seven patients linked to infections from contaminated water and a ventilation system at Queen Elizabeth University Hospital (QEUH). The Crown Office and Procurator Fiscal Service (COPFS) confirmed that the cases of 23-year-old Molly Cuddihy and former civil servant Andrew Slorance are under review and said families will be kept informed. Cuddihy, diagnosed with rare bone cancer at 15, died after powerful drugs used to treat infections and cancer irreparably weakened her organs. The health board admitted serious infections in 84 child cancer patients, two of whom died, were probably caused by the contaminated water system. COPFS investigations are also under way into deaths including 10-year-old Milly Main, 73-year-old Gail Armstrong and 65-year-old Anthony Dynes.
