A man suffering from a giant hernia in his stomach has died just days after allegedly being sent away from his GP.
Raymond Scougall was discovered dead at his home on Boxing Day after suffering long-term health problems which stemmed from a knife attack almost a decade ago.
Nine years prior to his death, Raymond, 40, and his brother Gary, 41, were both stabbed in a confrontation for which the attacker was jailed for 11 years. Since then, Raymond had been suffering from a severe hernia which required several operations.
