Hannah McInally, 24, from Aberdeen died in Aberdeen Royal Infirmary on 23 November 2021 following complications of an undiagnosed ruptured ectopic pregnancy.

A preliminary hearing is set for 30 April 2026 at Aberdeen Sheriff Court.

The purpose of an FAI includes determining the cause of death; the circumstances in which the deaths occurred, and to establish what, if any, reasonable precautions could have been taken, and could be implemented in the future, to minimise the risk of future deaths in similar circumstances.

Procurator fiscal Andy Shanks said: “The lord advocate considers that the death of Hannah McInally occurred in circumstances giving rise to serious public concern and as such a discretionary Fatal Accident Inquiry should be held.

“The lodging of the first notice enables FAI proceedings to commence under the direction of the sheriff.

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