Prosecutors have opened an investigation into the death of a young woman seven years after she became seriously ill with an infection potentially acquired in a Glasgow hospital.
Molly Cuddihy, 23, died in the high dependency unit of the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital (QEUH) in the city on Tuesday.
In 2018 Molly developed septic shock while receiving cancer treatment at the same hospital campus, which is now at the centre of a public inquiry into safety issues.
BBC Scotland understands her death was reported to prosecutors by a consultant after she was admitted again last month and developed another hospital-acquired infection.
NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde expressed its "deepest condolences" to Molly's family but said it was unable to comment on the case due to patient confidentiality.
