An investigation has been launched after a man died in police custody in Glasgow.
Darryl Goodwin died on Govan Road on June 26, 2021.
At the time, the 31-year-old was in the legal custody of Police Scotland.
The nature of the incident is unknown.
The Crown Office and Procurator Fiscal Service (COPFS) has now lodged a First Notice to begin proceedings for a Fatal Accident Inquiry (FAI).
The preliminary hearing will be held on June 5 at Glasgow Sheriff Court.
Procurator Fiscal Katrina Parkes, who is head of COPFS’s Scottish Fatalities Investigation Unit, said: “The Lord Advocate considers that the death of Daryl Goodwin occurred while in legal custody and as such a Fatal Accident Inquiry is mandatory.
“The lodging of the First Notice enables FAI proceedings to commence under the direction of the Sheriff.
“The family and their legal representatives will continue to be kept informed of significant developments as court proceedings progress.”
The purpose of the FAI is to determine the cause of death and the circumstances surrounding it.
We reported that another investigation has been launched into the death of a pensioner at HMP Low Moss.
