Deaths of two men in Police Scotland custody set to be examined by a sheriff

The deaths of two men in police custody are to be probed by a sheriff. Declan Gallacher, 24, became ill while being held at a police station in Clydebank, West Dunbartonshire, in December 2018.

Paramedics raced to the station but Gallacher, who was in a custody cell, could not be saved. David Berry passed away while at Govan police station in Glasgow.

Both deaths are set to be probed at a fatal accident inquiry at Glasgow Sheriff Court. A fundraiser was launched in aid of Gallacher following his death which raised more than £3,000 towards funeral costs.
