Crown Office steps in and orders Fatal Accident Inquiry

The Crown Office has announced that a Fatal Accident Inquiry is to be
held into the death of 66 year old Margaret Rowan, who died following
an outbreak of E-coli 0157 in the Renfrewshire area.

It was reported last year that environmental health officers had drawn
attention to more than health related 20 issues at the two Morrisons
supermarket branches in Paisley during the past three years, which
were highlighted as a possible source for the outbreak in which
Margaret Rowan, 66 died and eight others were taken ill.

Sliced cold meats from the delicatessen counters were believed to have
been the source of the infection, and were withdrawn.

The decision to hold an FAI follows "extensive investigations" by the
Outbreak Control Team and a joint investigation by the police and the
Environmental Health Authorities in Renfrewshire under the direction
of the Procurator Fiscal.

The Procurator Fiscal at Paisley has now made an application to the
Sheriff at Paisley for authority to conduct a Fatal Accident Inquiry,
and also contacted those people who were directly affected by the
outbreak.
